On the asparagus I found the sauce to be too intense, not uncommon when zest is used. However, two days later I used the sauce to marinate sea scallops, just for 15 minutes. The lemon had subsided, the herbs blended and it was a great marinade. After the scallops were sauteed in a TBS of olive oil over medium high heat for six minutes the drippings in the pan were a lovely sauce with no additions.
