For a richer flavor, use a dry sherry. Serve immediately with a side of perfectly steamed rice and vibrant green vegetables for a complete and balanced meal. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mushroom mixture for a subtle hint of spice.

Follow The Directions
01
StepRehydrate the Shiitakes: Steep the dried shiitake mushrooms in 2 cups of boiling water for 20 minutes. Once softened, remove and discard the stems. (Time: 20 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the Umami Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine the rehydrated shiitake mushrooms (caps only, sliced if large), oyster sauce, and sherry. Allow the mixture to meld and deepen in flavor. (Time: 10 minutes)
03
StepPreheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup. A light brush of olive oil on the parchment is optional. (Time: 5 minutes)
04
StepGlaze the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish. Generously spoon the mushroom mixture over the salmon, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. (Time: 3 minutes)
05
StepBake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (Time: 10-12 minutes)
06
StepOptional Broiled Finish: For a caramelized, slightly crispy top, broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning. (Time: 1-2 minutes)
