Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Place salmon fillets on parchment paper and brush tops with olive oil. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
3
Bake salmon in preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until fish is cooked to 145 degrees in center of thickest part.
4
While salmon is cooking, heat 3 tablespoons ghee in a medium skillet over high heat. Once heated, add minced shallot and garlic cloves. Stir, cooking for about 1 minute.
5
Add sliced shiitake mushrooms, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook mushrooms for about 7 to 10 minutes.
6
Carefully pour ¼ cup water into the skillet and stir mushrooms until liquid is absorbed.
7
Reduce heat to medium and stir in 1 cup coconut milk and 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped. Continue stirring, as sauce thickens.
8
Plate salmon with sides of your choice and spoon sauce onto fish.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Salmon Skin Crispness 🐟Pat salmon fillets completely dry and place skin-side up initially, then flip halfway through roasting to achieve crispy skin while keeping flesh moist and tender.
- Mushroom Flavor Concentration 🍄Slice shiitake mushrooms uniformly and sauté them in ghee until golden-brown before adding liquid—this caramelization deepens umami and prevents a watery sauce.
- Coconut Milk Emulsion Secret 🥥Whisk coconut milk thoroughly before adding to the sauce and maintain gentle heat to prevent separation; avoid boiling vigorously to keep the sauce silky and integrated.
- Shallot and Garlic Timing ⏱️Mince shallots finely and add them with garlic early in the sauce preparation so they soften and meld into the background, rather than remaining sharp or crunchy.
- Fresh Parsley Preservation 🌿Tear fresh parsley by hand just before serving and sprinkle over warm salmon rather than cooking it in the sauce—this preserves its vibrant color and delicate herbal notes.
