Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or zest to the sauce. If you don’t have dry sherry, white wine or even a splash of vinegar can work as a substitute. Fresh mushrooms are best, but canned can be used in a pinch; just rinse and drain them well. Make sure to adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the fish fillets to avoid overcooking.
Serving Suggestions
This Mushroom Sherry Glazed Fish pairs beautifully with steamed rice or quinoa, making it a wholesome meal. A side of sautéed green beans or a light salad can complement the dish well.
