GINGER AND LEMON MARINADE
This is really easy with my microplane--I just grate the ginger and garlic into a measuring cup, add the rest of the ingredients and nuke it in the microwave til it's all melted. This is good with any kind of fish, chicken or pork tenderloin, too.

Steps:
- Whisk the soy sauce, lemon zest and juice, and the sesame oil together in a small bowl. Add the scallion whites to the sauce.
- Mix the scallion greens with the ginger in another small bowl.
- Lay the sole fillets on the work surface, skin-side up (look for the side with the herring bone pattern). Cut the fillets lengthwise along the natural seam that runs down the center of each piece. Lightly season the skin-side of the fish with salt and pepper. Then scatter the scallions and ginger on top. Starting from the narrow tail end, roll up each piece of fish into a tight spiral with the scallion on the inside. Secure with a toothpick if desired.
- Pour an inch or more of water in a wok or skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lay the Napa leaves in a bamboo or collapsible steamer. Stand the fish rolls on the Napa, and scatter the shiitake mushrooms and sliced carrot around. Set the steamer over the water, cover, and cook the fish until it is barely cooked through, about 6 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave the fish covered to finish cooking in the residual heat of the steamer, about 5 minutes more.
- Divide the Napa, sole, shiitakes, and carrots among 4 plates and drizzle with the sauce. Serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ginger and lemon zest add the most flavor to the marinade.

- Use a flavorful oil: Olive oil or avocado oil are good choices for marinating.
- Season the marinade to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
- Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes: This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat.
- Bring the meat to room temperature before cooking: This will help it cook evenly.
- Cook the meat over medium heat: This will help prevent the marinade from burning.
- Baste the meat with the marinade while cooking: This will help keep it moist and flavorful.
