Instruction

Preparation step 1

Prepare stainless steel bowl

Place a high stainless steel bowl or the 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.

Set the alarm to 15 minutes.

Preparation step 2

Prepare hollandaise

Prepare a reduction for the Hollandaise sauce:

Peel and finely dice the shallot and bring to the boil with white wine, water, vinegar, parsley, tarragon and bay leaf as well as the peppercorns and reduce to 3-4 tablespoons.

Pass the prepared reduction through a sieve and make ready.

Preparation step 3

Prepare asparagus

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

Remove the asparagus and keep warm in the oven.

Preparation step 4

Prepare butter

Heat the butter for the hollandaise sauce, make it foam and clarify to a light brown shade.

Pass the butter through a fine sieve and let it temper next to the stove (approx. 90°C).

Preparation step 5

Prepare salmon

Dab the ready-to-cook salmon fillet dry, season with salt and pepper.

Fry the salmon briefly over high heat in a coated pan with a little clarified butter, then place on a plate and place in the oven.

Preparation step 6

Whip hollandaise

Remove the stainless steel bowl from the oven.

Pour the egg yolks into the preheated beating bowl, let the stirrer run at a high speed with the beater, slowly add the prepared reduction.

Preparation step 7

Add butter

First add the clarified brown butter slowly by the spoonful, then faster – egg yolk and butter should emulsify well 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

Arrange dish

Take the plates out of the oven.

Arrange the asparagus, add the salmon.

Add the hollandaise sauce to the salmon and asparagus.

Briefly toss the shrimps in the warm butter pan and add to the hollandaise.

Serve the dish sprinkled with freshly cut parsley.

Enjoy your meal!

Preparation step 9

Keep sauce warm

Note:

You can keep the Hollandaise sauce warm in the oven at 90°C for about 15 minutes.

Add a piece of butter to the sauce so that no skin is formed!

3. Tips for Preparing Fish with Asparagus and Hollandaise Sauce

To make this dish a success you will find some tips for the purchase and preparation of the components.

3.1 Tips for Asparagus

You can get green or white asparagus for this dish.

Both varieties taste delicious.

Green asparagus offers a peeling advantage, these asparagus spears are peeled only 5-6 cm above the end of the asparagus.

You cook asparagus in salted water with a little sugar and butter.

Steam cooking would be an alternative.

I think domestic asparagus is better, it contributes to a better carbon footprint.

3.2 Prepare Salmon Simply

Fresh salmon is always better than frozen.

You can fry the fish fillet with the skin, or cook the fish in the oven at 80°C.

This takes only 10 minutes for the portioned fish fillet and avoids fat splashes.

Instead of salmon you can buy cod, plaice rolls or redfish.
Fish alternative tip from chef Thomas Sixt

Salmon fillet with skin photographed from above — Salmon fillet with skin on a kitchen board.

Cut off salmon skin. — Peel the salmon fillet, hold the skin tightly, guide the knife along the skin to the end of the salmon fillet.

3.3 Hollandaise Prepare Safely

My insider tip:

We let the food processor do the whipping of the sauce.

We don’t need a water bath for that.

Preheat the beating bowl (metal) of the food processor in the oven at 90°C.

Prepare the egg yolks, the reduction and the melted tempered butter (90°C).

Remove bowl from oven Beat reduction and egg yolks, season, slowly add butter.

The whipped butter sauce is professionally and tastefully prepared to perfection and sure to succeed.

With a little practice and smart shopping (asparagus peeled), you can get this dish on the table in 30 minutes!
