For a richer flavor, use a combination of butter and olive oil. Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster mushrooms. If you don't have Madeira wine, you can substitute with dry sherry or Marsala wine. Adjust the amount of garlic powder and black pepper to suit your taste preferences. Serve immediately over grilled, blackened, steamed, or pan-fried fish. Snapper, grouper, or mahi-mahi are excellent choices.
