Salmon and Asparagus With Hollandaise Sauce

"This is a quick and easy dinner. Pop the foil packets in the oven while you make the sauce. Easy, great tasting hollandaise sauce. Can be whipped up while the salmon is cooking. This is an adaptation of many different recipes till I found the perfect dish to serve for dinner."

  1. I’ve made this many times for dinner and it’s always delicious. Everyone raves over it. I made it for a friend who was just home from a surgery and she said it’s better than her best restaurant finds.
     
  2. Great recipe, now a family favorite! I don't use the hot sauce, It has the Best (and easy) Hollandaise Sauce too!
     
  3. Recipe was very tasty, however, the asparagus was a little al dente. Did not use the fish seasoning either. Next time, will just steam the asparagus before making, and it should be perfect. Thanks for a great, easy recipe!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I was born in Southern Arizona with a taste for spice. Keeping kosher in Arizona was a challenge, so I had to eat at home a lot which meant I needed to experiment to have a variety of food available. I moved to Israel and my pallet has grown and cooking has blossomed. <br /> <br />I cook for the fun of it and rarely use a recipe as more than a base. I love to experiment and try new techniques and ideas.</p>
