Description

This protein-packed salmon toast is the perfect way to start your day or elevate your brunch. With creamy garlic scallion cheese, rich smoked salmon, and a poached egg on top of crispy sourdough, it’s a deliciously satisfying meal that’s full of healthy fats and lean protein. Prep the ingredients ahead of time for a quick, nutritious breakfast that’ll keep you energized all morning long!


Ingredients

Scale
  • Sourdough Bread Slices (1 loaf)
  • Smoked Salmon pkg
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • Jar of Cornishons
  • Jar of Capers
  • Red Onion
  • Heirloom Tomato
  • Scallions
  • Garlic, 2 cloves
  • fresh dill, optional
  • black pepper
  • flaky salt

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread: Start by toasting your bread slices until they’re golden brown. Let them cool slightly before applying the cream cheese.
  2. Prepare the cream cheese: While the bread is toasting, let your cream cheese soften at room temperature. Once soft, transfer it to a bowl and smooth it out. Add 1/4 cup of sliced scallions, 2 minced garlic cloves, and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix everything together and set aside.
  3. Poach the eggs: Prepare your poached eggs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture.
  4. Prep the toppings: Slice the red onion thinly, cut the tomato into medium-thick slices, and season the tomato with a pinch of salt. Place the tomatoes in the fridge to chill. Slice the cornichons thinly.
  5. Assemble the toast: Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on each slice of toasted sourdough. Top with two slices of tomato, followed by a layer of smoked salmon. Sprinkle on the red onion, cornichons, and capers.
  6. Finish the dish: Add a poached egg on top, and garnish with fresh dill. Finish with a sprinkle of black pepper and flaky sea salt.

My Homemade Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Bars

I’ve been playing around with a healthier protein bar option and am very happy with how these turned out.

Each bar packs about 22 grams of protein, they’re surprisingly filling, and they taste solid. 

The recipe is now live on Paleoish.com. Go check it out.

This elk rack from @firstlight.farm hit the spot.

Here’s how I cooked it up:
• Avocado oil, salt + pepper
• Roast at 450° for 15 min
• Lower to 350°, cook 15–20 min until 130° internal
• Rest 15 min, slice and enjoy

Here are my top tips to reverse searing a steak:
• Use a meat tenderizer to ensure optimal texture and salt absorption
• Salt both sides + wire rack overnight for the best crust
• Bake at 250° until the internal temp hits 120°
• Pat dry + sear in a hot pan with avocado oil, flipping often until it reaches 130–135° for a nice medium-rare
• Rest 10 minutes, then slice

This method never misses 🔥🥩

Finally tried @trulypizza in Dana Point and it lived up to the hype! They ferment the crust so it has a sourdough light and airy vibe to it, but is super crispy and delicious. Highly recommend this spot!
