Definitely a confidence building beginners dish for the up and coming cook! I swear, this recipe is easy and literally foolproof.

One of my newest students parents asked me to teach their 7 year old daughter the easiest, most basic version of Roasted Asparagus & Hollandaise with Salmon Filets I could think of for their family of three tonight. It was mom and dad's anniversary and Cammie wanted to cook a special dinner for her parents special evening. [so cute!!!]

Guess what? Tiny Mighty [what i've nicknamed her] NAILED IT! Her dish was so flavorful, so rich and so darned delicious! She also plated, garnished and photographed her own meal. In the end, a proud, glowing student - very proud parents - and such a proud teacher! KIDS ROCK!

Cooking Instructions

45 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°.

  2. 2

    Rinse your asparagus and completely dry them.

  3. 3

    Chop the bottom 1 to 2 inch woody bottoms from the base of your asparagus. Disgard. [or, sell to Panda Express since i'm convinced that's exactly what they're serving anymore] Yuck!

  4. 4

    Drizzle asparagus with enough garlic olive oil only to coat them and sprinkle with sea salt, lemon pepper and Parmasean cheese.

  5. 5

    Season your prefabed salmon with a good dash of lemon juice, lemon pepper, dried chives and sea salt. This Costco salmon filet will come in its own oven safe pan with butter and dill. However, the plastic top is not oven safe. Reserve it tho. You'll need it.

  6. 6

    Wrap salmon pan up tightly with tin foil.

  7. 7

    Place both asparagus and salmon in the oven at the same time for 45 minutes. Bake asparagus for 30 minutes. Bake salmon for 45 minutes.

  8. 8

    Flip/stir asparagus at 15 minutes in. At 30 minutes, check for doneness. But know you'll want a slight crisp to them.

  9. 9

    While waiting, at 30 minutes in, create your easy Hollandaise Sauce.

  10. 10

    Knoors requires 1 cup whole milk and 1/4 cube butter per packet. Bring milk and butter to a simmer and add your Knoors packets. Whisk well and regularly until thickened. Turn off heat. As she sits, she will thicken further and develop a skin on the top. If so, gently reheat, whisk again and add an additional splash of milk if needed just before serving.

  11. 11

    Place filets on a plates and top with asparagus and Hollandaise. Garnish with fresh or dried chives, fresh parsley and fresh ground black pepper. Enjoy!
