I made this with 3 salmon fillets but kept the rest of the quantities the same, using large field mushrooms, 1 leek and 1 onion and it was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by myself, the DM and the DS - just so quick and easy and all done in under 30 minutes including the steamed vegetable on the side. Thank you Boomette, made for ZAAR Stars tag game.

Made my very selective process of best of 2009 cookbook. Really wonderful, low fat, healthy meal. I grated the ginger and just before adding the fish deglazed the pan with about one tablespoon of red wine. Superb. Served on roasted asparagus with sweet potatoes. First time to cook with shitake and they turned out wonderfully. I used whole, except cutting in half the larger ones.

Excellent! I had to substitute onions for the leeks, and I added some carrot and broccoli. Very mild tasting and easy to make.
