Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Butter a 12-cup (3 L) shallow baking dish.

In a large pot of boiling water, blanch asparagus for 2,3 min or until bright green. Drain and refresh under cold running water until chilled.Place on a paper towel-lined plate.

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.

Bake in preheated oven for about 25 min or until golden and puffed. Let stand for 5 min before serving.
