Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Lay the fish skin side down in a baking dish just large enough to fit the fillets. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt. Roast until just cooked through, 15 to 25 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shiitakes, season with salt and sauté until lightly browned and just softened. Scrape into a bowl, adjust seasoning and keep warm.

  3. Step 3

    Return the pan to the heat and pour in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the shallots, ginger and rhubarb. Cook, stirring to scrape up any bits, until the rhubarb softens, about 4 minutes. Add ¾ cup water and the sugar. Season with salt. Cook until reduced by half. Whisk in the butter and cream and then the vinegar. Press the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl.

  4. Step 4

    To serve, divide the sauce among 4 shallow bowls. Lay a piece of fish in each and top with a spoonful of mushrooms.
