Ingredients

For the Fish

  • 2 pounds white fish fillets

For the Sauce

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and hot
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Bake the Fish

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  • Place the filets in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is flaky and has reached an internal temperature of 145°F.

Make Hollandaise Sauce

  • While the fish is baking, place the egg yolks, lemon juice, dijon, salt and cayenne pepper into a high-powered blender and blend for a few seconds until combined.
  • With the blender running on medium-high, slowly stream in the hot melted butter until the mixture is emulsified.
  • Pour the warm hollandaise sauce over the fish and enjoy.
