Method

Cooking the Salmon

  1. 1

    Sear the Salmon

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Cooking the Asparagus

  1. 2

    Sauté the Asparagus

    While the salmon is cooking, heat olive oil in another skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus spears, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender and bright green.

Making the Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the Hollandaise

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Gradually whisk in melted unsalted butter until the sauce is thickened. Season with salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Serving

  1. 4

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, place the sautéed asparagus and top it with the seared salmon. Drizzle the warm hollandaise sauce over the salmon and serve immediately.
