For the hollandaise sauce:

3 egg yolks

125g hot melted butter

1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind

1 tablespoon lemon juice

 

To prepare the hollandaise sauce, place the egg yolks in a food processor or blender. Process it for 10 seconds and then slowly add the hot butter. Add the lemon rind and lemon juice. Process for another 30 seconds until the sauce thickens.

Combine the wine, lemon juice and sliced onions in a shallow pan over high heat. Bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Place the salmon in the pan. Season it with salt and pepper. Poach the fish for 5-7 minutes until cooked. Remove the fish from the pan and dry with paper towels.
