    Add the chopped green chili and saffron threads to the pan at the end of cooking, spooning the butter over the fish.

  5. 5

    In a separate pan, sauté the sliced shiitake mushrooms in a little butter until golden and tender.

    Serve the fish with the mushrooms and sea asparagus, finishing with a squeeze of lemon if desired.
