Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of thick asparagus 350g
  • 2 x 150g chunky fillets of white fish skin off, pin-boned
  • 2 spring onions
  • 1 lemon
  • ½ a bunch of tarragon 10g
  • 1 really ripe avocado
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  • Pour 1cm of water into a large cold pan.
  • Snap the woody ends off the asparagus, then place the spears in the pan and sit the fish fillets on top.
  • Place on a high heat, cover and steam for 5 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, trim the spring onions, roughly chop the green parts and place in a small pan on a high heat with half the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of red wine vinegar, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and 100ml of water.
  • Bring to the boil while you pick half the tarragon leaves into a blender.
  • Halve and destone the avocado, scoop the flesh into the blender, and add just the egg yolk.
  • Pour in the hot spring onion mixture, then blitz until silky smooth and season to perfection.
  • Very finely slice the whites of the spring onions and mix with the remaining tarragon leaves.
  • Serve the fish and asparagus with the avocado hollandaise, finishing with pinches of the tarragon and spring onion and a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
  • Serve with lemon wedges, for squeezing over.
