Peel asparagus and trim the woody ends, if necessary. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan and saute asparagus for about 1-2 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and season with salt, add a little water and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes or until tender.

Rinse fish and poach in simmering wine mixture, covered, for about 8 minutes (broth temperature should be  around 80°C) (approximately 175°F).
