Poached eggs on zucchini fritters combine the delightful texture of two crispy vegetables with the runny goodness of poached eggs. This recipe is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner, and offers a nutritious twist with the addition of salmon.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and grate the potatoes.
- Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Combine the grated potatoes and zucchini in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix well.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of the vegetable mixture per fritter into the skillet. Flatten each scoop gently with a spatula to form a patty.
- Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the cooked fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Keep warm.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
- Bake the salmon for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat.
- Crack each egg into a small bowl.
- Gently create a whirlpool in the water using a spoon, then carefully slide the eggs one at a time into the center of the whirlpool.
- Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
- Place 2-3 zucchini fritters on each plate.
- Top with a portion of the baked salmon.
- Place a poached egg on top of the salmon.
- Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve immediately while everything is hot. Enjoy your delicious poached eggs on zucchini fritters with baked salmon!
Tips:
- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini and potatoes to ensure crispy fritters.
- Use a kitchen towel or cheesecloth to wring out the excess water from the vegetables.
- Cook the fritters on medium heat so they become golden brown without burning.
- For perfectly poached eggs, use fresh eggs and create a gentle whirlpool in the pot to help them keep their shape.
- Serve the dish immediately to enjoy the contrast between the crispy fritters and the runny poached eggs.
- Season the salmon with a bit of lemon juice or your favorite herbs for additional flavor.
This delicious recipe of poached eggs on zucchini fritters is sure to become a favorite in your household. The combination of crispy fritters, perfectly poached eggs, and flavorful salmon will leave you satisfied and eager to make it again.
