I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cilantro lemon butter didn't turn out very well. It was a bit too oily.

I'm not sure why, but my asparagus turned out a bit too charred. Maybe I should have grilled it for a shorter amount of time.

I didn't have any lemon on hand, so I used lime instead. It was still very good.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I used parsley instead. It was still delicious!

I would have liked the asparagus to be a bit more tender. Maybe I'll try cooking it for a few minutes less next time.
