(preferably with a non-stick surface) over medium-high heat. Add 1
tablespoon of the oil; swirl to coat surface. Add fish (skin side
up if using fillets); cover and cook until golden brown on bottom,
about 3 minutes. carefully turn fish over and repeat to brown
other side. Remove fish and set aside.

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add ginger and
cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add shrimp and
stir until shrimp are opaque and separated, about 1 minute. Add
mushrooms, broth and soy sauce and cook for 30 seconds. Add
cornstarch solution and stir until sauce boils and thickens.
Return fish to pan and spoon sauce over fish. Cover and simmer
until center of fish at thickest is just opaque, about 3 to 5
minutes. Transfer fish to platter; pour sauce over fish. Garnish
with green onions.
