Sesame Crusted Fish (or Tofu)
Lemon sole does not, in fact, have a lemon flavor. It's a type of plaice, a common fish with a light, yet firm texture. This recipe also works well with tofu.

- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon peeled and chopped fresh ginger
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
- 3 tablespoons flour
