- 16 young asparagus

- For halibut: Preheat a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat.

- Season halibut with salt and pepper and dust with the flour, shaking off the excess.

- Trim and clean your asparagus.
- In a large bowl add cleaned asparagus, minced garlic, minced shallots, and extra-virgin olive oil.
