In a 10-inch straight sided saute pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and saute stirring constantly, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the broth, wine and 1 Tbs of the lemon juice. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Arrange the fish lemon-ginger side up in a single layer on top of the leeks. If necessary, add more broth until the fillets are almost, but not completely, submerged. Cover and turn the heat to low. Gently simmer until the fish is just cooked through - 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer fish to 4 shallow bowls with a slotted spoon. Add the spinach, mint and scallions to the broth and stir until slightly wilted - about 1 minute. Season to taste with more lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Ladle the vegetables and broth around the fish and serve. Serve rice or soba noodles in same bowl with a few steamed green beans.

• Meanwhile, using the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, grease the bottom of a heavy skillet large enough to hold the fish pieces in one layer without crowding. Sprinkle the bottom of the skillet with shallots and arrange the fish pieces over it. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of wine over the fish. Bring the wine to a boil and cover the skillet closely. Cook 4 minutes or less until the fish just loses its raw look.

• Cook down briefly the skillet liquid to 1/2 cup and then pour it into a saucepan. Add the cream. Bring to a boil and cook over moderately high heat about 4 minutes or until reduced to 3/4 cup. Set aside 6 tablespoons of this sauce to be added to the linguine, which will accompany this dish.
