Ingredients

Ginger root - Raw, 7.5 slices (1" dia)
Generic - White Pepper (Spice), 2 teaspoon
Flounder Fillets, 12 oz
Green Onion, 1 medium (15 g)
Kosher Salt- 1 tsp

Steps:

Take your flounder fillets and put them in a microwave safe dish, preferably glass and lay them flat side by side.
Slice your green onion/scallion into 1 inch pieces and scatter them on and around the fillets.
Slice the ginger and place on and around the fillets.
Take salt and ground white pepper and sprinkle over the fish.

Either steam in the container over a boiling pot of water for 8-12 min depending on the size of your fillets--about 10 min for 3, 4oz fillets (if you have a pot and a steaming basket) or cover the container with a clear glass plate and nuke in the microwave from between 4-6 min. Enjoy!

You don't have to eat the ginger if you don't want to, but I love it and its very nutritious and full of health benefits. Also, the water that gets rendered out makes a semi-watery fish sauce/soup. I love it with the fish and a lot of the omega-3 gets into this sauce.
