Directions

  1. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced almonds, stir gently and shake the skillet until almonds are lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning. Set almonds aside.

  2. Add butter and olive oil to the same skillet. Swirl skillet until butter is melted and combined with the oil, about 1 minute. Add asparagus spears and season with salt and pepper. Move asparagus around the skillet, gently stirring and turning until tender-crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate.

  3. Add bread crumbs to the remaining butter and oil in the warm skillet. Stir until slightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes.

  4. Squeeze lemon juice over the cooked asparagus, place browned bread crumbs on top, and garnish with toasted almonds.
