Background:

I bought this beautiful piece of fish at the local Korean market and decided to prepare it simply by steaming it with ginger, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil and rice wine and salt.

Prep:

• 1 piece of flounder ~ 1 - 2 lb (May substitute with other neutral flavored fish such as cod, haddock, sea bass...etc.) 
• 2 stalks of scallions - julienned
• 3-4 slices of ginger - finely chopped into strips
• 2 TB soy sauce
• 1 TS sesame oil
• 2 TB rice wine
• Salt to taste (e.g. use your judgement)

Cooking:

• In microwave-safe container combine fish with all ingredients (Tip: layer some scallions/ginger on both bottom of pan and top of fish to allow steam/liquid to freely circulate)
• Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes
• Turn fish over in container
• Microwave for additional 2 min. on high
• Serve with garnish of chopped fresh scallions on top
