QUICK STEAMED FLOUNDER WITH GINGER-GARLIC MUSTARD GREENS
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.

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.

[email protected]The flounder was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious! I think I'll try steaming the fish for a shorter amount of time next time. Overall, a good recipe that I would make again with a few adjustments.

[email protected]This was a bit too bland for my taste. The flounder was cooked well, but the sauce lacked flavor. I think I'll try adding some more ginger and garlic next time, and maybe a bit of red pepper flakes to give it a little spice.

[email protected]This recipe was a disaster! The flounder was dry and tough, and the sauce was way too salty. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this again.
