Five-Spice Tilapia

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon(s) canola oil
• 1 teaspoon(s) Chinese five-spice powder
• 3 tablespoon(s) light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup(s) reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 3 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 pound(s) tilapia fillets

Preparation

1. 1. Sprinkle both sides of tilapia fillets with five-spice powder. Combine soy sauce and brown sugar in a small bowl.


2. 2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tilapia and cook until the outer edges are opaque, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, turn the fish over, stir the soy mixture and pour into the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook until the fish is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes more. Add scallions and remove from the heat. Serve the fish drizzled with the pan sauce.
