1 Trim off the base of the asparagus at the point where the stem turns from white to green. Bring about 2 inches of water to a boil in a large skillet. Add the asparagus and salt to taste. Cook until the asparagus bend slightly when you lift them from the stem end, 4 to 8 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the asparagus. Remove the asparagus with tongs. Drain them on paper towels and pat them dry.
2 Wipe out the skillet. Add the butter and cook over medium heat until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in the lemon juice. Return the asparagus to the pan. Sprinkle them with pepper and turn them gently to coat with the sauce. Serve immediately.
