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.

    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.
