Both DH & I enjoyed this. I was like a special occasion, using my black sesame seeds! I didn't use the lemon, because I knew he wouldn't like it. Thank you very much for another way to cook asparagus!

This is so, so, so good. It was possibly the best asparagus I've had and one of the best things I've eaten recently, period. I had it with glazed salmon, and I think this will be the first of many times I enjoy that meal. Thanks!
