Avocado with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce
Ingredients
* 3 avocados
* 1/2 lb. smoked salmon
* 18 french endive leaves
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice
* more lemon juice for the avocados
* 3/4 cup melted butter
* 3 egg yolks
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* Salt and pepper
Preparation
Melt the butter over low heat then allow it to cool down. Pour the egg yolks and lemon juice in a bowl and place in a bain marie, add salt and pepper to taste, simmer until it thickens, whisking constantly.
Pour the melted and cold butter in the sauce, by driblets, whisking as you would for mayonnaise, to obtain a smooth and soft consistency.
2) Wash the endive leaves and drain. Slice in strips, use it to decorate the dishes you will serve this appetizer on.
3) Slice the smoked salmon into thin strips and place on top of the bed of sliced endives.
4) Cut the avocados in halves, remove their seed and cut into thin slices and place on top of the salmon; sprinkle a few drops lemon juice over the avocados.
Pour a little bit holandaise sauce over the avocados and smoked salmon, then the rest in a sauce boat.
