Instruction

Preparation step 1

Prepare tools

Place a high stainless steel bowl or the appropriate hammer bowl from the mixer in the oven.

Place the plates in the oven to serve.

Heat the oven at 80-100°C hot air.

Preparation step 2

Prepare reduction

Prepare the reduction for the Hollandaise sauce:

Peel the shallot, cut into fine cubes and bring to the boil with white wine, water, vinegar, parsley, tarragon, bay leaf and peppercorns.

Reduce the reduction to 3-4 tablespoons.

Pass the prepared reduction through a sieve and make ready.

Preparation step 3

Prepare butter

Heat the butter for the Hollandaise sauce in a saucepan and bring to the boil.

Clarify the butter to a light brown shade, then pass through a fine sieve and let it temper next to the stove (approx. 90°C).

Preparation step 4

Prepare asparagus

Peel the asparagus and cook in salted water with a little sugar until al dente.

Remove asparagus and keep warm in the oven covered with a butterflake.

Preparation step 5

Prepare salmon

Unpack the smoked salmon and prepare the slices.

Preparation step 6

Prepare egg yolk

Remove the preheated stainless steel bowl from the oven.

Pour the egg yolks into the bowl, let the mixer run at a high speed with the whisk, slowly add the prepared reduction to the egg yolks.

Preparation step 7

Prepare sauce

Add the clarified brown butter slowly by the spoonful, then faster.

The egg yolks and butter must emulsify immediately and combine.

Season the hollandaise sauce with a little chilli or cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Let the mixer run slowly.

Preparation step 8

Serve

Take the plates out of the oven.

Wrap the asparagus stems with the smoked salmon and place on the preheated plates.

Pour the Hollandaise sauce on salmon and asparagus and decorate with cress. Serve quickly!

Enjoy your meal!

Preparation step 9

Sauce Tip

Note:

The Hollandaise sauce can be kept warm in the oven at 90°C for about 15 minutes.

Put a thin slice of butter on top of the sauce so that no skin appears!

3. Tip for Sauce Hollandaise safely prepare

Right at the beginning you will find here a Headcam-Cooking Video to get you in the mood.

I show you now a great preparation variant for the sauce Hollandaise:

Instead of the water bath, I heat the stainless steel bowl of the food processor.
Heat the bowl in the oven at 90°C for 20 minutes.
Heat the butter, brown it and pass it through a fine sieve, let it cool down to 90°C.
Prepare the reduction for the sauce Hollandaise and make it ready.
Separate and prepare the yolks.

Prepare the asparagus before the sauces:

Peel, cook until al dente and keep warm.

Prepare the smoked salmon and the cress for serving.

Preheat the plates in the oven. Watch the video now and cook it yourself 🙂
