Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, dijon, salt and cayenne pepper into a high powered blender and blend for 5 seconds until combined. With the blender running on medium high, slowly stream in the hot butter into the mixture until it's emulsified. Pour the hollandaise sauce into a small bowl and serve while warm.
But many people are intimidated by the process to make a hollandaise so they’ll buy a powdered mix. However, mixes come with hidden carbs so it’s best to make it from scratch! The carbs in hollandaise sauce are low because it’s just a blend of butter, egg yolks and lemon juice. And it’s best to make it up fresh each just before serving.
When made from scratch hollandaise is naturally keto-friendly as the main ingredients are egg yolk, butter and lemon juice. Fresh hollandaise is so easy to whip together, that it is a wonder that anyone would ever make it from a powdered mix.
The hollandaise is ready when it's thick and fluffy. Add the lemon juice and add salt to taste. Serve the salmon with the creamy hollandaise sauce and vegetables. Garnish with a slice of lemon for some extra flavor and color. Get your personalized meal plan with a FREE 30-day trial!
