Method

  1. Stir the lemon juice, dill and a grind of pepper into the yogurt and set aside.

  2. Bring a pan of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a cup and slide it in, then poach for three minutes until the whites are firm and the yolks give when pressed.

  3. While the eggs poach, wilt the spinach in a sprayed pan over a high heat for a minute and press out the water in a sieve.

  4. Pile the spinach on a plate, drape the salmon over, sit the eggs on top and spoon the yogurt alongside.

Worth knowing

  • Hollandaise would put roughly 200 kcal on this plate. The yogurt does the same job of something cold and sharp against the yolk for 34.
  • Smoked salmon and the eggs between them give 42 g of protein, which is a lot for a breakfast under 400.
