Smoked Salmon Benedict @ AquaGrill

Smoked Salmon Benedict AquaGrill

Smoked Salmon Benedict – $12.50

At this American-Seafood joint, they provided an assortment of American food with a seafood twist. Their one entree during their brunch hours was the Smoked Salmon Benedict. The benedict consisted of fresh smoked salmon with poached egg and hollandaise sauce on an English muffin. What makes this particular benedict so outstanding is the poached egg is consistently cooked to the point where the yolk is in liquid form. The blend of yolk, egg white, smoked salmon, and hollandaise sauce is a cause for concern for the weak hearted, but for those daring individuals that want an amazing brunch, go with this entree. The sides it comes with are hash brown potatoes and ratatouille, a nice compliment of starch and cooked veggies.
