Ingredients

    Instructions

    Step 1: Prepare the Dressing

    1. Gather Ingredients:

      • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
      • Juice from ½ lemon (cut the lemon in half)
      • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
      • A pinch of salt
    2. Mix Dressing:

      • In a large bowl, add the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt.
      • Whisk Together: Use a whisk or fork to mix everything until smooth.
    3. Add Salad Ingredients:

      • ½ shallot: Thinly slice it.
      • 2 teaspoons capers: Rinse under cold water if desired.
      • 80g rocket (arugula): Add it to the bowl.
    4. Set Aside:

      • Don’t toss the salad yet; just leave it in the bowl until you're ready to serve.

    Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

    1. Prepare Egg Mixture:

      • In a medium bowl, crack 6 eggs.
      • Add a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of milk (for creaminess).
    2. Beat the Eggs:

      • Use a whisk or fork to mix the eggs until the yolks and whites are combined and slightly frothy.
    3. Heat the Pan:

      • Put a non-stick frying pan on the stove over low-medium heat.
      • Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt until it bubbles (don’t let it brown).
    4. Cook the Eggs:

      • Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Let them sit for a few seconds to start setting.
      • Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges to the center.
      • Cook until the eggs are soft and slightly runny (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from heat.

    Step 3: Assemble the Dish

    1. Toast the Bread:

      • While the eggs cook, toast 2 slices of dark rye bread until golden and crispy. You can use a toaster or a skillet.
    2. Plate the Toast:

      • Once toasted, place one slice on each of two plates.
    3. Add Scrambled Eggs:

      • Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly onto each slice of toast.
    4. Flake the Fish:

      • Take 200g of hot smoked trout or salmon and flake it into chunky pieces using a fork.
      • Scatter the flaked fish over the scrambled eggs.
    5. Toss the Salad:

      • Just before serving, gently toss the salad in the bowl to mix the ingredients.
    6. Serve:

      • Place the tossed salad on the side of the toast. Enjoy your delicious breakfast!
