Five Spice Tilapia

Ingredients 1 pound tilapia fillets 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder (see Tip) 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce 3 tablespoons light brown sugar 1 tablespoon canola oil 3 scallions, thinly sliced Preparation Sprinkle both sides of tilapia fillets with five-spice powder. Combine soy sauce and brown sugar in a small bowl. 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. Notes: WOW lots and lots of flavor in this - was a big hit. I served mine with a steamed sweet corn southwestern style mix.
