Steps:
- Roast the potatoes:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- On a large baking sheet, toss together the potatoes, oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven until tender. Remove from the oven and let cool. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into thin slices.
- Meanwhile, roast the asparagus:
- On a large baking sheet, toss together the asparagus, oil, salt, and pepper. Squeeze the lemon juice over the asparagus then roast in the oven until tender, about 5 minutes. Leave the oven on.
- Make the hollandaise:
- In a small saucepan over moderate heat, combine the vinegar, tarragon, and peppercorns and bring to a simmer. Continue simmering until reduced to about 1 tablespoon. Strain the vinegar through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Set a metal bowl over a medium saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water). Add the egg yolks and vinegar reduction and cook, whisking constantly so the eggs don't scramble, until the yolks are fluffy and light in color. Add the clarified butter in a slow steady stream, whisking constantly. Remove the hollandaise sauce from the heat and cover to keep warm.
- Cook the salmon:
- Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- In a large sauté pan over moderate heat, warm the olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add the salmon, skin side down, and sear until golden brown. Flip the salmon over, sear for about 10 seconds, then immediately flip the salmon over again so that the skin is facing down. Transfer the salmon to the oven to finish cooking for about 5 minutes. Squeeze the lemon juice over the salmon.
- To serve:
- Place a salmon fillet in the center of each of 4 plates. Arrange the potatoes and asparagus beside the salmon and drizzle the asparagus with the hollandaise.

PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH NO-FAIL HOLLANDAISE AND ASPARAGUS
Steps:
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat for a couple minutes.
- Salt the boiling water, add the asparagus and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and reserve on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add the salmon skin-side up to the pan and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook skin-side down until the skin is crisped and salmon is cooked just past medium-rare, about 6 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the hollandaise sauce: Bring a couple inches of water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Whisk together the egg yolks, mustard, cayenne, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon each of the herbs in a medium metal bowl. Set the bowl over the simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and whisk until the hollandaise has thickened, about 2 minutes. You can move the saucepan on and off the heat to regulate the temperature, so the eggs don't cook too quickly.
- When the mixture is hot and thickened, gradually add the butter in several batches and whisk after each addition until fully incorporated, about 3 minutes. Add sea salt and white pepper to taste.
- Place the salmon fillets and asparagus on individual serving plates and spoon the hollandaise over the top. Garnish with the remaining minced herbs and serve.
Tips:
- For crispy skin: Pat the salmon dry before cooking and score the skin. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent it from steaming.
- Use a hot skillet: Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the salmon. This will help sear the skin and prevent the salmon from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the salmon in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet. This will help the salmon cook evenly.
- Roast the vegetables: Roasting the asparagus and fingerling potatoes will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor.
- Make the hollandaise sauce: Hollandaise sauce is a classic accompaniment to salmon. It is rich and creamy, and it adds a touch of luxury to the dish.
