Salmon with Shitake Mushrooms

Now this recipe we took from Martha Stewart Living and adjusted, but it is so delicious I felt I had to pass it along. Credit given where it is due. If you don’t have enough of each of the ingredients, don’t worry. We never have enough mushrooms, but it still tastes great. This is a wonderful dish for a fancy evening.

Mix together:
2 T. low sodium soy sauce
2 tsp. finely grated fresh ginger
1 T. and 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Toss with 4 cups thinly sliced (stems removed) Shitake mushrooms (about ½ to ¾ lb before stemming).
Cut a sheet of parchment paper that is over twice the length of your salmon filet. Fold in half and place on deep cookie sheet. This will be for your eventual package.


Place mushrooms on one half of the parchment paper, and top with your salmon filet (full size), skin side up. Sprinkle with vegetable oil. You may add snow peas as well, should you wish. Place thermometer in thick end of the filet, and fold parchment paper over filet. Fold over all the open sides so that it is a fairly secure package, minus where the thermometer is. Bake at 400° until internal temperature is 120° F. Unwrap fish, and remove skin. You may garnish with black sesame seeds.
