Description

These savory Smoked Salmon & Dill Waffles are a delightful twist on the classic brunch staple. The batter is enriched with melted butter and studded with chunks of Nova Scotia-style smoked salmon, fresh dill, and finely diced onion, creating a complex flavor profile that is both briny and herbaceous. The waffles cook up golden and crisp on the outside, with a tender, fluffy interior. They serve as a perfect vehicle for rich toppings like softened cream cheese mixed with chopped scallions, or a dollop of sour cream garnished with salmon caviar.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the milk and eggs until well blended.
  5. Pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold the melted butter, chopped smoked salmon, finely diced onion, and snipped fresh dill into the batter until evenly distributed.
  7. Lightly butter or spray the grids of the hot waffle iron with oil or non-stick spray.
  8. Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the hot iron.
  9. Spread the batter evenly over the grids with a metal spatula or wooden spoon, stopping just before the edge.
  10. Close the lid and bake until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, typically 3 to 5 minutes.
  11. Remove the waffle and serve immediately, or place on a rack in a 200F (93C) oven to keep warm while finishing the batch.
  12. Top each waffle with a scoop of softened cream cheese mixed with chopped scallions, or a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of salmon caviar.
