Follow The Directions

01

Step

Rehydrate 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

Step

Prepare 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

Step

Preheat 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

Step

Glaze 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

Step

Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (Time: 10-12 minutes)

06

Step

Optional 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)

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.

    I used salmon steaks instead of fillets, and it worked just as well. I had to adjust the cooking time slightly.
