Yes		 Lemon butter sauce, often used with fish and various vegetables, is pretty much anything you want that includes lemon and butter as major ingredients. Those given here are my favorites.
Recipes as given here are quite lemony, but you can balance to your taste by changing the ratio of wine to lemon juice. Lemon butter sauce can be thickened with a little corn starch suspended in water but I usually don't.

  2. Dress asparagus lightly with this dressing and the asparagus will no longer make wine taste bad. Its a good dressing to use even if you aren't drinking wine with your asparagus.
