- 55g (4 tbsp) unsalted butter
- ½ tsp kosher salt (or fine sea salt)
How To Make Asparagus With Hollandaise Sauce
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 230°C (450°F).
- Prepare the asparagus: Trim the woody ends off the asparagus. Place in a roasting tray, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and toss to coat.

- Start the hollandaise: In a blender, combine egg yolk, lemon juice, and cayenne. Pulse a couple of times.
- Melt the butter: Heat the butter in the microwave until just melted.
- Blend the sauce: With the blender running, slowly pour in the melted butter until the sauce is smooth and frothy. If too thick, blend in 1 tsp lukewarm water to loosen. Stir in salt.
- Serve: Transfer asparagus to a serving plate, drizzle with hollandaise sauce, and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
- Choose fresh asparagus: Select firm, bright green spears for the best flavor.
- Trim properly: Remove the woody ends to ensure tenderness.

- Blend hollandaise slowly: Gradually add melted butter for a smooth sauce.
- Serve immediately: For optimal taste, enjoy the dish while warm.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
