Seasonal Vegetables

Hollandaise Sauce

Method

Grilling the Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).

  3. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the grill and let rest.

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and trim the asparagus, peel and slice the carrots, and chop the bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 5

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a pot of boiling salted water, blanch the asparagus and carrots for 3-4 minutes until bright and tender-crisp. Add the bell peppers, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Drain and toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Making the Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 6

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 7

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until pale and thick.

  3. 8

    Combine Everything

    Slowly drizzle in the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with a pinch of salt and cayenne pepper.
