Seafood Eggs Benedict

We had left over fish cakes from last night that we didn't cook yet, and decided to make them for brunch today with a benedict.  It turned out perfectly!  The only thing we thought would have been better was some sauteed kale or swiss chard to help cut some of the fat.  Next time we'll try that and post photos!

My delicious brunch this morning!
