This most unique version of eggs benedict combines several bold ingredients, so bold that one would imagine a cacophony of mismatched characters competing for the limelight. To the contrary, however, the recipe accomplishes a remarkable symphony of flavors - from the salty feta and tangy dill to the rich egg yolk, and the spicy blackened salmon. Towering above a toasted english muffin, it's hard to believe this dish didn't come straight from the neighborhood's trendiest brunch spot.
