• Detach the caps from the stems of the mushrooms. Wipe the caps clean with a damp dish towel to get rid of any dirt. Clean the stems, and cut into two or three pieces each, lengthwise. If the caps are small, leave them whole; if not, cut them into large chunks.
• Coat a large frying pan with a thin film of oil. Put over medium heat, and sauté the large pieces of mushroom for a few minutes before adding any smaller pieces. Toss periodically, cooking until they turn golden brown and their liquid has been released. Drain on paper towels.
• Return the drained mushrooms to the skillet, and add the parsley and garlic or shallot. Sauté over medium heat for a minute or two, and serve sprinkled with salt and pepper to taste.

SALMON WITH SAUTéED MUSHROOMS, SHALLOTS AND FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300ºF. Cover a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil the foil. Place the salmon on top. Season with salt and pepper. Fill a roasting pan with boiling water and place it on the oven floor.
• Place the salmon in the oven and bake until the fish flakes and white bubbles of protein appear on the surface, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the fillets. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms. Heat a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When the oil is hot (you can feel the heat when you hold your hand above the pan), add the mushrooms and cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, for a few minutes, until they begin to soften and sweat. Add the remaining oil, turn the heat to medium, and add the shallots, garlic, and herbs. Stir together, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and cook, stirring often, for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the shallots and garlic have softened and the mixture is fragrant. Add the wine and cook, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the wine has just about evaporated. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from the heat.
• Serve the salmon with a spoonful of mushrooms on top or on the side.
