In a small skillet, melt the butter over moderately low heat.
Add the sage leaves and cook, stirring often, until the butter is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Transfer the asparagus to a warmed platter and spoon the sage-lemon butter on top.
Garnish with the lemon zest, top with shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and serve.
