  1. Heat broiler on high and set a rack 6 inches away from it. On a sheet pan, toss asparagus with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, a few grinds of pepper and a pinch of salt.
  2. Broil for 2-5 minutes and check for browning; shake the sheet pan to roll the asparagus spears around to brown evenly.
  3. For the aioli, put the mayo in a small bowl, add the garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and tarragon and mix well.
