This very quick and easy sidedish can be made very quickly. A great compliment to the grilled salmon I had with it.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons butter melted
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 each shallot very finely diced
1 pound asparagus spears snapped and cut into one inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon sea salt to taste

Directions

Melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

Mix in a small bowl with the lemon juice, curry powder and salt.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened for a couple of minutes.

Add the asparagus and cook for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally until just barely tender but still a bit crisp. Stir in the curry butter, toss well to coat.

Serve warm.

Sometimes I add 1/2 a red bell pepper diced along with the shallots and it makes for a lovely colorful sidedish.

Very quick and easy, wonderful simple flavor. The curry is not overpowering at all and the lemon juice adds a bit of zing to the salad.

Bombay Monkfish

Super-tasty sauce but overwhelmed the mild flavor of the monkfish, which is a bit expensive where I live ($13/pound)--sauce is dominating flavor, fish could have been any firm protein. Will make again, but will sub the monkfish for shrimp or salmon--maybe even tofu.
