Photo: Asparagus with Sesame Citrus Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus a splash
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, plus extra for garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt
Directions
Prepare the asparagus. Snap off bases of spears and discard. Bring a small amount of salted water to boil in a saucepan, add a splash of lemon; add asparagus and cook until tender. Remove asparagus and shock in an ice bath to stop the cooking and to keep its bright green color.
Melt the 3 tablespoons of butter in saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and cook, stirring 2 to 3 minutes over moderate heat, until lightly browned. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons orange juice, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Whisk to make sure it's fully emulsified. Add salt, to taste. Add asparagus to sauce, and toss until coated. Serve hot and garnish with extra sesame seeds, if desired.

I think it has good flavor, but I paired it with her Key Lime Salmon as she did in a video and the combination of the two just didn't play as well together as I was hoping. I think the glaze has a good flavor, however maybe pull back a bit on the sesame oil. However, next time I have a roll your own sushi dinner, I will definitively have this on the buffet.

The blend of the sesame and OJ really made the flavor pop! I'm usually pretty boring with my asparagus either grilling it or steaming it. This was a nice change of pace an d paired nicely with Emeril's salmon and potato casserole.
