Begin by preparing the Hollandaise sauce. Melt the unsalted butter gently in a saucepan or in the microwave. Keep warm.
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until they become thick and pale.
Place the bowl over a small saucepan with simmering water (ensure the water does not touch the bowl). Whisk continuously until the mixture is warm to the touch.
Gradually add the melted butter to the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Continue until all the butter is incorporated and the sauce is thickened.
Season the Hollandaise sauce with salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Toast the gluten-free English muffin halves until golden brown.
In a medium saucepan, fill with water about 2/3 full and add white vinegar. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
Crack the eggs one at a time into a small bowl and then gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel.
To assemble, place two toasted gluten-free English muffin halves on each plate. Layer each with smoked salmon slices.
Top the salmon with a poached egg on each muffin half.
Drizzle the warm Hollandaise sauce generously over the eggs.
Finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped chives for garnish.
