Oven-Roasted Flounder With Bok Choy, Coriander, and Lime

This vibrant oven-roasted flounder with bok choy, coriander, and lime is a wonderful example of how simple ingredients can create a sophisticated, high-protein meal. The delicate white fish is gently steamed over a bed of seared greens, allowing the subtle flavours of ginger, soy, and rice vinegar to infuse every bite. It is a light yet deeply satisfying dish that celebrates fresh, zesty aromatics without the need for heavy sauces.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe is naturally low in carbohydrates while providing plenty of essential nutrients. The use of sake or dry white wine adds a refined depth of flavour to the poaching liquid, making it an excellent choice for a healthy midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend lunch. Serve it in shallow bowls to capture every drop of the fragrant, citrus-spiked juices.

  • 1 spring onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped coriander, plus small sprigs for garnish

  • 60ml fresh lime juice

  • 45ml reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons finely minced peeled ginger

  • 3 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 450g baby bok choy (2–3 bunches), cut in half lengthwise

How to make Oven-Roasted Flounder With Bok Choy, Coriander, and Lime

Arrange a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 204°C. Combine spring onion, 1/4 cup coriander, and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk in 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Season coriander-lime sauce with salt and pepper; set aside.

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Working in batches if needed, add bok choy, cut side down, and sear until golden brown, 2-4 minutes per batch. Turn bok choy cut side up and remove pan from heat. Add sake. Season flounder fillets with salt and pepper and arrange in a single layer over bok choy. Roast in oven until fish is just cooked through, 8-10 minutes.

Spoon sake sauce from skillet into the bottom of 4 shallow bowls, dividing evenly. Add bok choy to each bowl, dividing evenly; top each bowl with 1 fish fillet. Spoon some coriander-lime sauce over fish and garnish with coriander sprigs. Serve remaining coriander-lime sauce alongside for drizzling.
