QUICK STEAMED FLOUNDER WITH GINGER-GARLIC MUSTARD GREENS



Quick Steamed Flounder With Ginger-Garlic Mustard Greens image

This recipe, inspired by a Chinatown dinner, puts the bold tastes of sesame oil, ginger and soy sauce front and center. Here, a steamed piece of flounder sits on a bed of mustard greens, limp, tender and infused with garlic. The greens take the place of choy sum, a relative of bok cho, and give the dish a slightly mustardy flavor. It's a quick, healthy weeknight dinner packed with flavor. Try it tonight.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable or peanut oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, more for drizzling
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1-inch-thick slice peeled fresh ginger root, minced
2 small bunches mustard greens, cleaned, stemmed and torn into pieces
1 tablespoon soy sauce, more for drizzling
2 flounder fillets, 12 ounces each
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oils in a very large skillet. Add garlic and ginger and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add mustard greens, soy sauce and 3 tablespoons water, and sauté until greens start to wilt, 2 minutes longer.
  • Spread greens out in pan. Season flounder with salt and pepper, and place on top of greens. Cover pan, reduce heat to medium, and let fish steam until just cooked through, about 6 minutes. If pan dries out before fish is cooked through, add a little more water, a teaspoon at a time.
  • Uncover pan and transfer fish to serving plates. If greens seem wet, turn heat to high to cook off excess moisture. Serve greens on top of fish, drizzled with a little more sesame oil and soy sauce, if desired.

Tips for Cooking Moist and Tender Flounder Fillets:

- **Choose fresh flounder fillets:** Look for fillets that are firm to the touch, have a mild fishy smell, and are free from any discoloration. - **Properly season the fillets:** Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt to enhance the flavor of the fish. Some popular options include lemon pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and thyme. - **Don't overcook the fish:** Flounder is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it until it is just opaque in the center, which should take about 3-4 minutes per side. - **Use a gentle cooking method:** Pan-frying, baking, or steaming are all good options for cooking flounder. Avoid methods that involve high heat, such as grilling or broiling. - **Serve the fish immediately:** Flounder is best served hot, so cook it just before you are ready to eat.

Conclusion:

Flounder is a versatile fish that can be prepared in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can ensure that your flounder fillets are moist, tender, and flavorful.
