Tender, mild flounder fillets bake up quickly and are a wonderful foil for a flavorful miso sauce and a side dish of nutty brown rice cooked with spinach. If you like, replace the water called for in the sauce with either sake or dry white wine.

Ingredients
Method
Bring 2 1/4 cups water to boil in a medium saucepan.
Stir in rice, oil and salt; return to a boil, lower heat, cover pan and simmer 40 minutes.
Stir in spinach a few handfuls at a time, stirring until all leaves fit in the pan.
Cover and continue to simmer until all liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes more.
Remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425°F.
Place flounder in an oiled baking sheet large enough to hold it in a single layer (tuck thin tail-ends or thin sides under if necessary to make fillets fit).
In a bowl, whisk together miso, soy sauce or tamari, honey and 2 tablespoons water.
Spoon the mixture over fish fillets.
Once you've added the spinach to the rice, place fish in the oven and bake until it just flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
Sprinkle fish with sesame seeds; garnish fish and rice with scallions and serve.
