Directions
To make sauce, in a heatproof bowl, beat together yolks; 1/3 cup sherry, garlic,
salt and pepper. Place bowl over a pot of simmering water. Do not allow water
to come to a boil or eggs may curdle. Whisk constantly until light, frothy and
thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until butter turns nut brown (do not let it burn), about 4 minutes. Immediately add 2 tablespoons sherry and stir. Add remaining ingredients, except caviar. Toss well and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Gently toss in sherry sauce.
Divide among plates and serve, topped with salmon caviar, if desired.
