OLIVE OIL AND GARLIC BROILED ASPARAGUS
This is just my way of making grilled asparagus inside, as I no longer have access to a grill. Too easy not to make. You can use real garlic if you like, but just to make things easier and faster (on weeknights) I use the powder and garlic salt. If you do use real garlic, mince it as finely as you can, and sub sea salt for the garlic salt.

Steps:
- Heat a large griddle pan, remove the hard ends from the asparagus and dry griddle on both sides until nicely marked (about 5 minutes).
- As soon as they're ready, put them on the plates and dress with a good squeeze of lemon juice and about twice as much olive oil. (The quantities listed in the ingredients above are really rough as you just need to dress this dish to your own taste.).

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips.
- If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use bottled lemon juice. However, fresh lemon juice will give the asparagus a brighter flavor.
- Use a microplane grater to finely grate the lemon zest. This will help to release the essential oils and give the asparagus a more intense lemon flavor.
- If you don't have a microplane grater, you can use a regular grater. Just be sure to grate the lemon zest finely.
- Don't overcook the asparagus. It should be tender, but still slightly crisp.
- Serve the asparagus immediately after it is cooked. This will help to preserve its flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
Asparagus with Lemon and Minced Onions is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be ready in just a few minutes. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the lemon and onions add a bright and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
