How to Make

  • Step 3: Before serving, place the sesame seeds in a small, dry skillet and toast them lightly over medium heat until light golden brown.

  • Step 4: Place the asparagus on a serving plate, and drizzle with some of the marinade. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the asparagus and garnish with lemon.
