Pan-Steamed Asparagus with Lemon-Caper Mayonnaise

Scott Phillips

Servings:4

Stirring a few brightly flavored ingredients into store-bought mayonnaise gives you a tangy sauce for simple steamed asparagus. The sauce is also delicious with fish, especially salmon.

    Excellent. The sauce is very similar to one that I made up to serve with cold salmon or crab. It never occurred to me to use it for a vegetable. We'll be trying it on broccoli next.

    Even those that don't like asparagus enjoy it with this mayonnaise. I use capers that are packed in salt. They are superior to brined capers; however, I do rinse them because the mayo is way too salty if i do not.
