Instructions
Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet until very hot.
Add the olive oil, shiitake mushroom caps, garlic and jalapeo slices and stir well. Season with salt.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the shiitake caps, stirring a few times, for about 20 minutes, or until richly browned and crisp.
In a large, nonstick skillet, heat the grapeseed oil. Season the salmon fillets with salt and white pepper and add them to the skillet, skin side down. Cook the salmon over high heat for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to moderate and cook until the skin is browned and very crisp, about 12 minutes longer. Turn and cook the salmon for 2 minutes on the other side, until barely cooked through.
Transfer the salmon fillets to plates, skin side up. Gently lift the skin off the salmon and lean it against the fillet. Spoon the roasted shiitake caps on the salmon.
Drizzle the plates with mushroom syrup and serve with the lemon wedges.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Salmon. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Foley Johnson Carneros Chardonnay with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.

Foley Johnson Carneros Chardonnay
Aromas are concentrated and complex in our 2016 Carneros Chardonnay. Notes of grilled peach, pear, buttered croissant, and vanilla set the stage for a rich, and full-bodied Chardonnay. The aromas expand on the palate with mouthwatering flavors of pear, apple crisp, honeysuckle, toasted coconut, and vanilla wafer. This wine’s balance and structure coupled with its bright acidity makes it an age-worthy wine to be enjoyed for several years. Enjoy this beauty with a succulent roasted chicken and wild mushroom risotto.
