    We've made this a few times and always rave about it. I let the butter and almonds go as far as they can to get the butter browned. A great extra touch.

    Agree with most other reviews, this was really delicious. I did scale back a touch on the amount of oil because this can eat rather rich with the full amount of butter + oil. The topping makes the dish, watch the almonds as they can easily burn in the pan. I can see this being delicious with any white fish.

    I was a bit disappointed given the rave reviews. It was good, just not the standout combination of flavors I expected.

    Wow this is good. Admittedly the butter and oil turn it into a bit of an indulgence but it's worth it.

    I agree with the chorus of previous reviews, this is a great side dish and the topping could be used on any green vegetables

    The almonds and capers fried in butter is life changing. I throw it on top of different veggies, rice, and grilled meat.

  • Rutabaga on April 19, 2020

    As others have said, this is a great combination. Something a little unexpected with asparagus, and everything comes together beautifully. It was a great Easter side dish.

    I substituted a smaller amount of tarragon for the dill. The asparagus was delicious. There was a generous amount of topping.
