In a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form; set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat together egg yolks, cream, hot pepper sauce and pepper until blended. Beat in flour. Fold in one-quarter of the egg whites until blended. Fold in remaining egg whites. Pour into prepared baking dish, smoothing top. Sprinkle with asparagus, smoked salmon and green onions.
