Ingredients

1
lb. fresh or frozen skinless Alaska or gray cod, or tilapia fillets
1/2
tsp. ground ginger
1
Tbsp. finely chopped fresh ginger
2
tsp. canola oil
8 oz. fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and halved
1

Very thin slices fresh ginger (optional)

Directions

Thaw fish, if frozen. In a bowl combine the 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Sprinkle on fish; set aside.

In skillet cook the 1 tablespoon fresh ginger in hot oil over medium-high heat 15 seconds. Add mushrooms, pepper, and 1/2 cup onions.
