* 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
* 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
* 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
* 2 teaspoons sesame oil
* 1 teaspoon honey

Sauteed Shiitake Mushrooms:
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 3/4 cup sliced shittake mushrooms
* 1 tablespoon sesame oil
* 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
* 2 tablespoon sake
* 4 lemons, zested and juiced
Prep Time: 20 min
Cooking Time: 30 min
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut 4 large squares of heavy
aluminum foil large enough to hold 1 flounder fillet and
one-quarter of the vegetables. Lightly put margerine one side of
each and set on a work surface.
Lay the fish flat in a baking dish. In a bowl, whisk together
the sake, light soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, sesame oil, honey,
and black sesame seeds. Pour over the fish and let marinate for up
to 45 minutes. Arrange 1 fish fillet on each sheet of aluminum foil
and top with one-quarter of the shiitake mushrooms, leeks, carrots,
red peppers, and marinade. Wrap tightly and place on a baking
sheet. Bake until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are
tender, 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and unwrap each package.
Transfer the fish and vegetables to 4 large plates and top with the
cooking juices. Serve with Sauteed Shiitakes and hot steamed
rice.
Sauteed Shiitake Mushrooms:
Place a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and
heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and saute until they
begin to give up their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the sesame oil,
light soy sauce, sake, and lemon juice and zest and cook for 3
minutes.
