Melt the chocolate with the butter over a pan of barely simmering water and let it cool slightly.

Stir in the egg yolks one at a time.

Whisk the whites with the salt to soft peaks, then add the sugar and whisk to firm, glossy peaks.

Fold a third of the whites into the chocolate to loosen it, then gently fold in the rest.
