- 6 tablespoons olive oil

Directions
ROASTED SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS:
In a large bowl, toss together the mushrooms, garlic, herbs, 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the hot pan and cook the mushrooms, in batches, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Set aside while cooking the fish.
Heat a 14-inch sauté pan to medium-high. Dry the skin side of the filets with a cloth. Generously season both sides of the fish with salt and white pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan and place 3 of the filets in the pan skin side down. Cook for 3 minutes and gently turn using a fish spatula. Cook an additional 2 minutes and reserve on absorbent cloth. Cook the other filet in the same fashion. Wipe the hot pan out with a dry clean cloth. Add the cold butter to the pan and swirl around. Allow the butter to brown. Carefully add the crabmeat to the pan and use a wooden spoon to gently stir the pan. Add the lemon juice and parsley. Remove from the heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the warm mushrooms and their oil with the watercress. Place some of the mixture on a plate. Place the filet of fish skin side up on top of the salad and top with a generous amount of the crabmeat mixture
