  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger
1 bunch flat-leaf spinach, trimmed, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 6-oz. flounder fillets

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add spinach and sesame oil and toss to coat. Cook, tossing occasionally, until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame seeds; season with salt and pepper and gently toss to combine. Set aside.

    Step 2

    Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Season fish with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Serve flounder with spinach.
