Ingredients:
Olive oil
180g salmon fillet, skin on
4 spears asparagus, ends trimmed
2 egg yolks
100g butter, room temperature
1 lime, juiced
Lime, to serve
Method:
1. Preheat frying pan over high heat until hot. Season salmon with salt and pepper and rub both sides with olive oil. Cook skin side down for 2-3 minutes, pressing firmly on the fish to crispen the skin. Turn over cook a further 1-2 minutes for rare or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate, cover and set aside 5 minutes to rest.
2. Meanwhile, cook asparagus in a pan of salted boiling water for 1 minute, then drain and refresh in cold water. Pat dry with paper towel.
3. Heat a saucepan of simmering water over medium low heat. Lightly whisk eggs yolks and 1 tbs water together in a heat-resistant pyrex bowl and place over the simmer water, making sure the base of the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk constantly for 2-3 minutes over the simmering water until it is thick and pale, has doubled in volume. Cut butter into cubes and add 1 cube at a time to the yolks, whisking constantly until butter is well combined and sauce starts to thicken. Remove bowl from heat and whisk in the 2 tbs lime juice until combined.
4. Place asparagus on a plate, top with salmon and spoon over lime hollandaise, season with salt and pepper and serve with lime wedges.
