Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large lime
2 egg yolks
Pinch of cayenne
Salt to taste
2 pompano, about 1 1/4 pound each, filleted
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Grate the zest off the lime and set aside. Squeeze the juice into a blender jar. Add the egg yolks, cayenne and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  • Pour two cups of water into a large saucepan. Place a trivet or flat steamer rack inside. Arrange the fillets on a heat-proof plate, skin side down, and sprinkle with the lime zest, ginger and salt to taste. Place the plate on the steamer, cover the pot and bring to a boil. Steam until the fish is just cooked, about seven minutes. (If the fillets are too big, you will have to do this in two stages or in two pots.)
  • While the fish cooks, melt the butter in a small saucepan and keep it very hot.
  • Remove the fillets from the steamer plate and pour the cooking liquid into the blender; this gives the sauce extra flavor. Blend for 10 seconds, then, with the motor running, add the hot butter in a slow, steady stream. Season with more salt if you like. Spoon the hollandaise over the fish and serve at once.
