Makes 6 Servings
INGREDIENTS
  • 2 pound fillet of salmon
  • Juice of 1 lemon, divided
  • Sea salt flakes and fresh ground pepper, to season
  • ¼ cup grape seed oil
  • 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons minced ginger
  • 1 cup mixed color mini bell peppers, seeded and diced
  • 1 cup unfiltered sake
DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 325ºF and line a half-size rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat salmon dry, and place it on the baking sheet. Spritz with juice of ½ lemon and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until it turns opaque and when ready remove from the oven.
  3. While the salmon bakes, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper until slightly brown. Add garlic and ginger, cook until fragrant, no longer than 1 minute. Add bell peppers and sake into the mixture. Gently stir until the liquid is reduced and bubble up around the edge of the pan. Remove from the pan.
  4. Top salmon with mushrooms mixture and spritz with the rest of the lemon juice.
