  Husband doesn't normally like Hollandaise - but he loved this as the grapefruit cuts through the richness. The grapefruit does disintegrate quickly though so make sure you put in at last minute. This would make an excellent dinner party dish.

  Nice dish, would be a good dish to serve for guests. I personally found it a bit on the ordinary side, was expecting something a bit more sensational. I agree that the grapefruit should go in right at the end, as it falls apart a bit and lets out too much juice making the hollandise rather runnier than I like it. Overall alright but I probably wouldn't make it again.

  If this is the recipe for keen cooks and marked as a restaurant quality food then probably I am misunderstanding something. Would never make something like this and call it restaurant style food. Sorry.

  Looks great but bad editing for the ingredients - just four 120g pieces of salmon for six? ...
