Pan-roasted asparagus with fried capers

Here's a beautiful side or appetizer that comes together in under 10 minutes. The briny capers get pan-fried and crunchy in just 2 minutes, and they're the perfect flavor contrast for crisp-tender asparagus. The addition of toasted pine nuts on top gives an almost buttery flavor to the whole dish. For even more color and heartiness, add a good handful (about 1 cup) of halved grape or cherry tomatoes to the skillet after the asparagus has cooked for 3 minutes. Instead of thinly slicing the lemons, you can serve wedges alongside so guests can squeeze them over for a bright, citrusy note that ties the rest of the ingredients together.
