What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 4 large whole eggs
- 120 grams smoked salmon sliced
- 1 medium ripe avocado sliced
- 0.5 cup shelled edamame thawed
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 medium lemon juiced
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Make the Lemon Tahini Dressing
Whisk together the tahini and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of warm water one tablespoon at a time while whisking until the dressing reaches a pourable consistency. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the Bowl Base
Divide the smoked salmon between two bowls and arrange the avocado slices alongside it. Scatter the thawed edamame evenly over both bowls so each serving has a good mix of colors and textures.
Step 3: Poach the Eggs
Fill a medium saucepan with 3 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of white vinegar to help the whites hold together. Crack each egg into a small cup individually then slide it gently into the simmering water. Poach for exactly 3 minutes for a runny yolk or 4 minutes for a jammy center. Remove with a slotted spoon and gently pat dry with paper towels.
Step 4: Finish and Serve
Place two poached eggs on top of each assembled bowl. Drizzle the lemon tahini dressing generously over everything and add a pinch of black pepper and optional red pepper flakes. Serve immediately while the eggs are still warm.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- smoked salmon → canned wild caught salmon drained and flaked for a more affordable option
- edamame → white beans which provide similar protein and a creamy mild flavor
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Poaching eggs in rapidly boiling water which causes the whites to shred and fall apart
- Skipping the vinegar in the poaching water which results in whites that spread too thin and do not hold their shape
