Oven Roasted Flounder with Bok Choy, Cilantro and Lime

I loved this recipe.  The Asian flavors are so delicate but add to the overall concept of the dish.  As a matter of fact, the sauce is so good, I could drink it.  Well, maybe that's because of the sake...Make the flounder fillets are no bigger than 1/2 inch thick and really do use baby bok choy.  I bought the large sized and cut into 4 pieces but the fish was done before the bok choy.  Not too smart there Bitchy. I served it over brown rice.

Ingredients

• 1 scallion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro plus small sprigs for garnish
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons finely minced peeled ginger
• 3 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pound baby bok choy (2-3 bunches), cut in half lengthwise
• 1/2 cup sake or dry white wine
• 4 4-ounce fillets flounder or other delicate white fish (up to 1/2 inch thick)

Preparation

• Arrange a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 400°. Combine scallion, 1/4 cup cilantro, and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk in 1 1/2 tablespoon oil. Season cilantro-lime sauce with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons 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, 2-4 minutes per batch. Turn bok choy cut side up and remove pan from heat. Add sake. Season flounder fillets with salt and pepper and arrange in a single layer over bok choy. Roast in oven until fish is just cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
• Spoon sake sauce from skillet into the bottom of 4 shallow bowls, dividing evenly. Add bok choy to each bowl, dividing evenly; top each bowl with 1 fish fillet. Spoon some cilantro-lime sauce over fish and garnish with cilantro sprigs. Serve remaining cilantro-lime sauce alongside for drizzling.
