👨‍🍳 Instructions

Wash fish fillets under running cold water and dry with a paper towel.

Drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt on both sides.

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.

Heat canola and sesame oils in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add fish to hot oil and pan-fry for 2 to 3 minutes.

Carefully turn and continue cooking until fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes more.
