Instructions

  1. Step 1 Make the relish

    Place the chille, onion, tomatoes, vinegar, salt, black pepper and sugar in a bowl, mix well, then stir in the olive oil and the chopped herbs.

  2. Step 2 Fry the shallots

    Melt the butter with a good glug of olive oil in a large frying pan over a gentle heat, add the shallots and cook for 2 minutes being careful not to color the shallots.

  3. Step 3 Cook the vegetables

    Add the zucchini, spinach and asparagus to the pan, stirring to combine, and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes until the water from the spinach has evaporated.

  4. Step 4 Finish the salmon mixture

    Add the light and heavy cream, mustard, lemon zest, a good amount of grated nutmeg and white pepper. Cook for a further 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, then carefully stir in the pink salmon directly from the can and taste for seasoning.

  5. Step 5 Crack eggs and cook

    Make four wells in the salmon mixture and crack in the eggs. Cover the pan with a lid and continue to cook for around 5 minutes or until the egg whites have just set and the yolks are runny.

  6. Step 6 Plate and serve

    Serve with the red onion and dill relish, strips of toasted sourdough and wedges of lemon.
