Breakfast by Pillar Of Salt: Corn Fritters, Avocado Salsa and a Poached Egg

The corn fritters are Pillar of Salt’s most popular dish. Served with an avocado salsa, Tasmanian smoked salmon and a poached egg, it’s a fresh trans-seasonal dish that works any time of the day. Svenson uses eggs from South Gippsland farms and salmon from Regal Seafoods, but you can pick up all the ingredients you need at your local market. While fresh is always best, you can pre-make the fritter mixture and it will keep for a couple of days.

Time for a healthy Sunday fry-up!
