Eggs Benedict is traditionally served with pancetta, crispy streaky bacon or very thinly sliced smoked salmon.
I wouldn't serve it with cooked salmon fillet.
Anyway, making perfect poached eggs and hollandaise will be the making of you, not which of the above you choose
Eggs Benedict is served with thinly sliced ham. Eggs Florentine is with spinach and no ham. When it's served with smoked salmon it's called something else, but I forget what (it's late here). If you're wanting to use salmon, use a good quality smoked salmon.

I've never made Eggs Benedict myself as it seems too much of a faff and I'm rubbish at poaching eggs but it's one of my favourite breakfasts when I'm stopping in a decent hotel (and washed down with a bloody mary)

It is ,seems like your spinning plates trying to keep everything hot.

I have purchased a jar of ready made Hollandaise sauce and some smoked salmon.
I thought the smoked salmon needed cooking, that's why I asked which was the best way to cook it, but I will check.

I am hoping to do this for the wife on Sunday. ”
So, basically, "I'm going to make Eggs Benedict" means you're going to attempt a poached egg for Valentine's Day.
Go for it Tiger!
