To prepare Shiitake mushroom, pear and applejack compote : In a medium-sized skillet, heat the oil and sauté the onion for 3 to 5 minutes or until translucent. Add the mushrooms and pear and sauté until the mushrooms wilt.
Remove from heat. Pour in the brandy and return to heat. The mixture will flare, but the flame will burn out when the alcohol has evaporated. Cook for 1 minute more, then add the salt and black pepper. Keep warm.
Place the coated fillets on serving plates and top with the Shiitake Mushroom, Pear & Applejack Compote. Serve immediately.
