Prep and roast asparagus
1
  • Trim and discard the bottom 1-inch from asparagus.
  • Add asparagus and 1 1/2 tbsp oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender-crisp, 10-12 min.
Finish prep
2
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Strip 1 1/2 tsp tarragon leaves from stem, then finely chop.
  • Melt 2 tbsp butter in the microwave or a small pot.
Toast nuts and make lemony tarragon sauce
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add pine nuts, then toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 3-4 min. Transfer to a plate.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together mayo, 1/4 tsp sugar and 1 tsp lemon juice in a medium bowl.
  • Gradually whisk in melted butter until smooth.
  • Add tarragon. Season with salt, then whisk to combine. (NOTE: If sauce is too thick, slowly whisk in 1 tbsp warm water to thin it out.)

 

Finish and serve
4

  • Spread tarragon cream sauce along the bottom of a serving platter, then arrange asparagus over top.
