How to Make 3 Citrus Hollandaise Sauce
- 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.
- Microwave on high power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until butter is completely melted (about 1-2 minutes).
- Whisk vigorously until the mixture slightly cools down (about 30 seconds).
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks until light and frothy.
- Gradually whisk about 1/4 of the melted butter mixture into the egg yolks to temper them, ensuring they don't scramble.
- Slowly whisk in the remaining melted butter mixture until the sauce is emulsified and thickened.
- Gently whisk in 1 teaspoon red pepper sauce and 1 tablespoon orange juice.
- Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother consistency (optional).
- 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.
