Method

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

  2. 2

    Season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until crispy. Flip and transfer skillet to the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.

  3. 3

    While salmon cooks, blanch asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

  4. 4

    Poach eggs: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack eggs into individual ramekins. Gently swirl the water and slide the eggs in. Cook for 3-4 minutes until whites are set and yolks are still runny.

  5. 5

    Make hollandaise: Whisk lemon juice and dill. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Assemble: Place asparagus on a plate. Top with salmon. Carefully place poached eggs on top. Drizzle with lemon-dill hollandaise. Serve immediately.
