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)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Clean the shiitake mushrooms, remove the stems, and slice the caps into thin strips.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Deglaze the pan by pouring in the dry white wine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
