200-250g freshly-cooked mussels, removed from the shell 
4-5tbsp olive or rapeseed oil 
The juice of 1 lemon 
½ tbsp chopped fennel or dill 
Salt and freshly-ground black pepper

Cook the asparagus in boiling salted water for 4-5 minutes, then drain.
Mix the shellfish with the oil, lemon and dill or fennel, then season to taste.
Arrange the asparagus on serving plates and top with the shellfish.
