Chef’s Tips:

1. Using a grill pan with a cover is a delicious way to prepare asparagus. It makes the asparagus crisp and tasty while preserving its delicate flavor.
2. I especially like to use Fleur de Sel to finish this dish.
3. You can also garnish the asparagus with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
