How to Make 3 Citrus Hollandaise Sauce

1. Place 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a microwave-safe bowl.
2. Microwave on high power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until butter is completely melted (about 1-2 minutes).
3. Whisk vigorously until the mixture slightly cools down (about 30 seconds).
4. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks until light and frothy.
5. Gradually whisk about 1/4 of the melted butter mixture into the egg yolks to temper them, ensuring they don't scramble.
6. Slowly whisk in the remaining melted butter mixture until the sauce is emulsified and thickened.
7. Gently whisk in 1 teaspoon red pepper sauce and 1 tablespoon orange juice.
8. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother consistency (optional).
9. Serve immediately over your favorite dish, such as grilled salmon or asparagus. Keep warm in a double boiler or low heat if not serving immediately.
