To give poached asparagus a more sophisticated look and flavor, arrange it on a platter and top with a mixture of butter-fried panko breadcrumbs, thyme, chives, pecorino cheese, and Meyer lemon zest. Unlike regular lemons, Meyer lemons have a more pleasant, slightly sweet flavor and aroma. The airy, crisp panko breadcrumbs add a lovely texture to the asparagus. This garnish looks quite festive and goes well with any meat or fish dish.
