• 1 tablespoon sesame oil (Optional)
• 4 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Wash fish fillets under running cold water and dry with a paper towel. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt on both sides.

Step 2

Combine flour and Chinese five-spice powder in a shallow bowl. Dip fish fillets into the flour mixture so they are covered on both sides.
