Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or tilapia)
- 200 grams fresh shiitake mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 piece shallot, finely diced
- 120 milliliters dry white wine
- 120 milliliters low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 piece lemon, juiced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Clean the shiitake mushrooms, remove the stems, and slice the caps into thin strips.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fish fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate, covering loosely with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and diced shallot, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to turn golden.
Deglaze the pan by pouring in the dry white wine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.
Add the chicken or vegetable stock, fresh thyme leaves, and lemon juice. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for another 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Return the cooked fish fillets to the skillet, nestled in the mushroom sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the fish and let it warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
