- Remove the asparagus to a plate and season with course salt. Set aside.
- Add the remaining butter to the pan and cook until the butter has browned.
- Add the lemon juice and continue to move and swirl the pan, slightly cooking the sauce. Add salt and spoon as much for the asparagus as you like.
- Place a large spoonful of the Boursin chantilly on the asparagus, top with herbs, flowers, and drizzle of olive oil and a few grains of the Fleur de sel.

- In a chilled clean bowl, whip 7 oz of the heavy cream to medium stiff peaks.
