List of Ingredients
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro plus small springs for garnish
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 T reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 T unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tsp. finely minced peeled ginger
3 1/2 T vegetable oil, divided
kosher salt and freshly groun black pepper
1 lb. baby bok choy (2 to 3 bunches), cut in half lengthwise
1/2 cup sake or dry white wine
4 4-oz. filets flounder or other delicate white fish (up to 1/2-inch thick)
Description
Arrange a rack in upper third of oven; preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine scallion, 1/4 cup cilantro, and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk in 1 1/2 T oil. Season cilantro-lime sauce with salt and pepper; set aside.
Heat remaining 2 T oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Working in batches if needed, add bok choy, cut side down, and sear until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes per batch. Turn bok choy cut side up and remove pan from heat. Add sake. Season flounder filets with salt and pepper and arrange in a single layer over bok choy. Roast in oven until fish is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
Spoon sake sauve from skillet into the bottom of 4 shallow bowls, dividing evenly. Add bok choy to each bowl with 1 fish filet. Spoon some cilantro-lime sauce over fish and garnish with cilantro sprigs. Serve remaining cilantro-lime sauce alongside for drizzling.
