Salmon In Shiitake Gravy Sauce

Since salmon is a popular food and common in many cultures, I try a lot of diverse recipes for salmon in my blog and the one that I will show here is quick and simple. Most of the ingredients are easy to find too.
Ingredients:
Two – 8 oz salmon fillets, cut into bite-size pieces
Marinade
1 tsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1 tbs shaoxing wine or dry sherry
1/4 tsp sesame oil
Gravy
3 dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked (reserve the soaking water)
1/4 cup chicken stock + 1/4 cup mushroom water
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped red onions
1 tsp oyster sauce
1 tbs oil
Thickening Solution
1 tbs cornstarch
2 tbs water
Garnish
Chopped cilantro and green onions



Directions:
In a bowl, mix all the marinade ingredients together. Add the cut salmon pieces. Let salmon pieces marinate for 30 minutes.

When ready to cook, remove salmon pieces from the marinade but reserve the marinade.
Remove the soaked mushrooms and cut into 1 inch strips.
In a wok, heat oil. Sauté chopped onions and garlic until the onions become soft and fragrant.

Stir in mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes.

Add salmon pieces and cook until the salmon pieces become opaque.

Add the gravy and the marinade and bring to a boil.



 Add the thickening solution and cook until the
sauce is thickened (about 3 minutes). Season with oyster sauce. Sprinkle with cilantro and green onions .
