Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 bunches scallions (about 10)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cupmirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)*
1/3 cup water
4 (6-ounce) skinless black bass or other white fish fillets (3/4 to 1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 lb mushrooms, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Cut white and pale green parts of scallions diagonally into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Thinly slice enough scallion greens to measure 1/4 cup, reserving remainder for another use.
  • Stir together soy, mirin, and water.
  • Pat fish dry and season with salt. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté fish, turning once, until golden and almost cooked through, about 4 minutes total. Transfer fish to a serving dish and keep warm, loosely covered with foil. (Fish will continue to cook as it stands.)
  • Add mushrooms, scallion pieces, and soy mixture to skillet and boil over moderately high heat, stirring, until mushrooms are tender and sauce is slightly thickened, 7 to 8 minutes. Add fish juices that have accumulated in serving dish to skillet and boil 1 minute. Spoon sauce over fish and sprinkle with scallion greens.
