For best results, use freshly squeezed orange juice. Bottled juice lacks the vibrant flavor of fresh. Don't overcook the asparagus! The goal is to achieve a tender-crisp texture. Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze for a touch of heat. A knob of butter stirred into the glaze at the very end adds richness and shine. If you don't have a lid for your skillet, you can tent the asparagus with aluminum foil.

01 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Gently toss the prepared asparagus with the sea salt in a medium bowl. Arrange the asparagus in a large (12-inch) skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Pour the olive oil and orange juice over the asparagus in the skillet. At this stage, the asparagus can be prepped a few hours in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Approximately 10 minutes before you intend to serve, place the skillet over high heat. Once the asparagus begins to steam vigorously, set a timer for 4 minutes. Continue to cook, covered, until the asparagus is tender-crisp, testing for doneness with the tip of a sharp knife. (Cook time: 4-6 minutes)
03 Step

If desired, add the orange zest to the skillet (reserve some zest for garnishing).

Garnish with the reserved orange zest, if desired, and serve immediately. (Glaze reduction: 2-3 minutes)

Oct 22, 2024I didn't have fresh oranges, so I used bottled orange juice. It was still good, but I'll definitely try it with fresh oranges next time.
