Tonight's Dinner: Flounder with Ginger Soy Butter

This was tonight's dinner - an adaptation of a recipe from the new Grill This, Not That book - from the folks who put out all the Eat This, Not That books. The original recipe was for salmon, which I didn't have, and I baked it instead of grilling (weather wasn't right). Flounder isn't right for grilling either - too thin.

To make things easier and quicker when I cooked, I put all the butter ingredients into a ramekin and mixed them together and refrigerated them. About an hour before I cooked, I removed the ramekin and let it come more to room temp.
