Steps:
- Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of the asparagus spears. If using large, thick asparagus, peel the lower ends with a vegetable peeler.
- Put butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus in one layer and season with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook until the asparagus is firm-tender, about 3 minutes. Take care not to overcook them; they should still be bright green. (They will continue to cook a bit once the heat is off.) Remove the asparagus from the pan and place on a serving platter.
- Turn heat to high and simmer briskly until most of the liquid has evaporated, a minute or so. Add lemon juice and zest to the buttery juices. Turn off heat and stir in chives, parsley, tarragon and dill, if using. Check seasoning. Spoon the sauce over the asparagus, garnish with a few herb leaves, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender asparagus spears with tightly closed tips for the best flavor and texture.
- Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears before cooking. A good rule of thumb is to snap off the bottom 1 to 2 inches of each spear, where it naturally breaks.
- Sauté the asparagus in a hot pan with butter and mustard for a quick and easy side dish. You can also add other ingredients like garlic, shallots, or bacon for extra flavor.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender but still slightly crisp. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Serve the sautéed asparagus immediately as a side dish or main course. You can also use it as a topping for salads, pasta dishes, or grilled meats.
Conclusion:
Asparagus sautéed in butter and mustard is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. It is a great way to use fresh asparagus when it is in season. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
