The Star of the Show: Citrus-Marinated Smoked Salmon


Smoked salmon is a luxurious choice that can transform your brunch into something truly special. Marinating it in a citrus blend enhances its flavor profile beautifully. High Country Citrus Blend gives it a fresh kick that pairs wonderfully with its smokiness. Here’s how to whip it up:


Ingredients:


  • 2 fillets of fresh salmon

  • 2 tablespoons High Country Citrus Blend

  • 1 tablespoon Woodland Embers Smoked Salt

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • Juice of 1 orange

  • Zest of 1 lemon


Instructions:



  1. Prepare the Marinade: Mix the citrus juices, zest, High Country Citrus Blend, and smoked salt in a bowl.


  2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon in the marinade, making sure it's fully coated. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to soak in, creating a deliciously tangy profile.


  3. Smoke the Salmon: Heat your smoker to about 225°F (107°C). Smoke the salmon for about 1 hour, or until it flakes easily with a fork.


  4. Serve and Garnish: Arrange the smoked salmon on a platter and top it with fresh herbs or citrus slices for added color and flavor.


This citrus-marinated salmon is not just fresh and tangy, it also delivers visual appeal, making it perfect for brunch.


A Bold Side: Flaming Embers Seasoned Hash Browns


Next, let’s make some hash browns that satisfy crunch and bold flavors. Flaming Embers Steak Seasoning adds a kick that complements the smoky salmon perfectly.


Ingredients:


  • 2 large russet potatoes, shredded

  • 2 tablespoons Flaming Embers Steak Seasoning

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil


Instructions:


  1. Prep the Potatoes: Rinse shredded potatoes under cold water to eliminate extra starch, then drain and dry them thoroughly with paper towels. Proper prep helps achieve that perfect crispiness.


  2. Sauté the Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Cook until the onions turn translucent, about 5 minutes.


  3. Cook the Hash Browns: Add the shredded potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out evenly. Sprinkle with Flaming Embers Steak Seasoning. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, then flip to brown the other side.


  4. Serve Hot: Once crispy and golden, remove from the skillet and enjoy immediately. These hash browns are so tasty that they might take the spotlight!


The Perfect Pair: Poached Eggs and Toasted Sourdough




To elevate your brunch, poached eggs and crispy sourdough are essential. The rich yolk of the poached egg adds depth to the meal, complemented by the crunch of the toasted bread.


Poached Eggs:


  1. Boil Water: Prepare a pot with gently simmering water.


  2. Add Vinegar: A splash of vinegar keeps the egg whites intact.


  3. Crack and Poach: Crack an egg into a bowl and gently slide it into the water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk remains soft.


  4. Remove and Drain: Use a slotted spoon to lift the egg from the water and drain any excess moisture.


Toasted Sourdough:


  1. Slice and Toast: Cut thick slices of sourdough and toast until golden brown. The crispy texture enhances your meal.


  2. Assemble Your Plate: Start with a slice of toasted sourdough, top with a poached egg, and serve alongside your citrus-marinated smoked salmon and hash browns.


This combination of flavors and textures will impress your guests, making your brunch a memorable event.
