Steamed Ginger Sole with Lemon Soy Sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- Juice from 1/2 a lemon
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 4 bunches scallions, whites and greens separated, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
- 4 (6-ounce) sole or other flat fish fillets
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 large Napa cabbage leaves
- 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced on the bias
- 8 shiitake mushroom, stems trimmed and discarded
- Special equipment: bamboo or collapsible steamer
- Whisk the soy sauce, lemon zest and juice, and the sesame oil together in a small bowl.
- Add the scallion whites to the sauce.
- Mix the scallion greens with the ginger in another small bowl.
- Lay the sole fillets on the work surface, skin-side up (look for the side with the herring bone pattern).
- Cut the fillets lengthwise along the natural seam that runs down the center of each piece.
- Lightly season the skin-side of the fish with salt and pepper.
- Then scatter the scallions and ginger on top.
- Starting from the narrow tail end, roll up each piece of fish into a tight spiral with the scallion on the inside.
- Secure with a toothpick if desired.
- Pour an inch or more of water in a wok or skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Lay the Napa leaves in a bamboo or collapsible steamer.
- Stand the fish rolls on the Napa, and scatter the shiitake mushrooms and sliced carrot around.
- Set the steamer over the water, cover, and cook the fish until it is barely cooked through, about 6 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and leave the fish covered to finish cooking in the residual heat of the steamer, about 5 minutes more.
- Divide the Napa, sole, shiitakes, and carrots among 4 plates and drizzle with the sauce.
- Serve.
