Choose fresh ingredients from your local farm shop.

  1. Place the smoked salmon in foil and place in hot oven for 15mins.
  2. Poach asparagus gently until soft.
  3. Make a hollandaise sauce: place egg yolks in a bowl, season then place in food processor for 1 minute. After that, heat lemon juice and white wine vinegar in saucepan and simmer till reduced to half. Add to processor in a steady stream.
  4. Using the same saucepan, melt the butter over a gentle heat. When butter is foaming, add to processor in a slow steady trickle, stir the mixture and give a quick burst to end up with a lovely smooth buttery sauce.

Serve immediately: place asparagus on the plate, put the fish on top and pour over the creamy fluffy sauce.
