Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch paella pan or wide oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the mushrooms and 1/4 tsp salt in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, then stir and cook for 2 more minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown and any released liquid has evaporated. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
