If I had to choose my favourite breakfast, it would have to be smoked salmon eggs benedict. The salty fish with the luscious eggs are a match made in heaven.  But who says this combination should only be reserved for breakfast?

Cooking sometimes seems tedious on these hot summer days. It’s nice to have items prepped in the fridge that can be assembled into a quick and easy meal, like this jammy egg and smoked salmon salad.

While this salad is a take on an eggs benny, I decided to not use poached eggs (although you totally could!) Jammy eggs fall between a soft boiled egg and a hard boiled egg, where you still have a soft yolk and they are perfect in salads. The best part is, they can be made ahead of time and can be kept in the fridge for a couple days. I keep them in the shell and just place them in some hot water to warm up. It’s so convenient to have them ready and waiting for a quick and simple dinner.

For this salad, I use arugula for the base. I love the spicy bite. Slices of crisp red onion and creamy avocado complement the smoked salmon and eggs. For the dressing, I kept it nice and light with lemon, honey and mustard. The combination works so well together and is so delicious. I used salty capers and fresh dill to garnish the salad, and salt and pepper on the eggs, to ensure they were well seasoned.

How To Make Jammy Eggs

Making jammy eggs is a very simple process. You just bring water to a boil in a pot. Once the water is boiling, gently lower the eggs into the water and set a timer for six and a half minutes. Have a bowl of water and ice ready. When the timer goes off, place the eggs into the water to stop them from cooking further. This method works every time for perfectly cooked eggs where the whites are firm and the yolk is tender and soft.
