Health benefits of this Smoked Salmon Breakfast Bake

Eggs provide high-quality protein (this dish has 34g per serve to be exact) and essential nutrients, while smoked salmon (especially if you can source wild caught smoked salmon) offers a great source of omega-3 fatty acids to support a healthy body. Leafy greens like spinach, zucchini and salad to serve boost the fibre and antioxidant content of this satisfying meal.

Ingredients

This recipe features a nutrient-rich combo of large eggs (preferably free-range), red onion, spinach, zucchini, hot smoked salmon, capers, and feta cheese for a deliciously savoury finish.

How to make this Smoked Salmon Breakfast Bake

To make this smoked Salmon breakfast casserole, start by softening the onion in a skillet, then stir through the spinach, zucchini and salmon. Whisk the eggs with black pepper, pour them over the vegetables/ salmon, and scatter with capers and feta cheese. Bake until puffed and golden.

Serving suggestions and how to store

Serve warm with a fresh side salad and/ or slices of avocado for a balanced meal. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container or frozen. Reheat in a low oven until just heated through.

Vary Smoked Salmon Breakfast Bake to suit your needs

Leave out the onion for an onion-free option. For a dairy-free option check out the instructions in the variations below the recipe. You can also substitute smoked salmon with cooked shredded chicken for a seafood-free option. This is such a versatile recipe.

Beef Brisket with BBQ Sauce

April 7, 2025 | Make-ahead Meals, Red Meat, Slow Cooked

This Beef Brisket with BBQ Sauce is a tender, juicy dish full of rich flavours, perfect for family gatherings or special occasions. The slow-cooked brisket soaks up the smoky, tangy homemade BBQ sauce, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience that will have everyone coming back for seconds.

Health benefits

Whilst many bbq beef brisket recipes are loaded with sugar and processed sauces, this recipe is a much healthier take on the classic. Beef brisket is a good source of protein and essential nutrients like iron and zinc, which support muscle health and immune function. The addition of apple cider vinegar in the BBQ sauce provides a dose of gut-friendly probiotics, while the spices offer anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ingredients

For this BBQ beef brisket recipe, you’ll need a 1.5 kg beef brisket with the fat well trimmed, olive oil, and a delicious, anti-inflammatory rub made with spices like cumin, garlic powder, sweet paprika, salt, and pepper. The barbecue sauce includes tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, rapadura sugar, and optional cayenne pepper for a little kick.

How to make this beef brisket with BBQ sauce

To make this BBQ brisket, preheat the oven to 160°C (fan-forced). In a small bowl, combine the spices for the rub. In a jug, mix the BBQ sauce ingredients. Rub olive oil and the spice mixture over the brisket, then pour the BBQ sauce into a Dutch oven. Place the brisket in the dish, cover with a tight-fitting lid or foil, and cook for 3.5 to 4 hours, basting the beef at the 2-hour mark. To caramelise the sauce, you may need to remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-30 minutes.

Serving suggestions and how to store

Serve this delicious brisket with your favourite sides, such as mashed potatoes, a simple salad, green beans, coleslaw, potato salad or grilled vegetables. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for future meals. We love leftovers to make brisket sandwiches or burgers.

Vary this beef brisket with BBQ sauce to suit your dietary needs

For a gluten-free version, ensure the Worcestershire sauce you use is gluten-free. If you’re avoiding garlic, simply omit the garlic cloves and powder.
