For a richer flavor, consider using a high-quality smoked salmon. Adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens up the dish. Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster mushrooms. If you don't have fresh basil, dried basil can be used, but use sparingly (about 1 teaspoon). A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a nice touch of heat.
