Nice, easy way to dress up asparagus. Lemon and oregano are a nice subtle touch.

We really enjoyed the subtle lemon oregano flavor, and the asparagus was cooked for just the right amount of time. I did use fresh oregano from the garden. Yum. Will do this again.

Our local super had a sale on asparagus and I decided to try this recipe Friday night. The lemon and oregano gave the asparagus a surprisingly wonderful flavor. The asparagus was a side dish to my Oven Baked Maine Fish. Will definite keep it in my recipe file. Thanks, Bergy!

I'd never had asparagus with lemon and it was a wonderful change - word of advice ... watch how much lemon you use
