Method

Stir in white wine vinegar and season the sauce with salt and pepper.

Slowly whisk in warm clarified butter to create a smooth emulsion.

Tie celery, parsley, tarragon, and bay leaves into a bouquet garni.

Fill a fish kettle halfway with cold water and add aromatics, vegetables, asparagus trimmings, and seasoning.

Whisk egg yolks in a bowl over simmering water until pale and thick.

Boil asparagus spears for 1-2 minutes until tender, then refresh in ice-cold water.

Place salmon in the kettle, cover with water if needed, bring to boil, then remove from heat.

Serve the fish with blanched asparagus and a spoonful of hollandaise sauce.
