Asparagus is a wonderful accompaniment for any fish.  Well, actually asparagus add a nice addition to any meal. And this asparagus dish is a real treat for asparagus lovers. For balsamic  vinegar lovers like me, too. :) 


Asparagus will be ready with no sweat and you will enjoy the dish till the last shoot.


I served this asparagus with salmon last time.

  1. Ñam, do you think this sauce will go well with other veggies, such as green beans? Asparagus is almost non existent here in Nicaragua.

    1. Hi Carolina,
      yes, this sauce actually goes very well with green beans. Green beans would be great substitutes for asparagus.
      It's easy and delicious. Enjoy!

  4. Hello!
    Many thanks for the simply simlple recipe!
    I've tried the souce out with seasonal asparagus at home. Hearty indeed, I should say.
    Austrian green asparagus went fantastically well with the charmingly deep black souce. ;)
    Hope you have lovely weekend up there!
