Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat the 1 lb fish fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each fillet in the 0.5 cup flour, shaking off any excess.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the 0.5 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Carefully place the fish in the pan, cooking in batches if needed to avoid crowding.

  3. Step 3

    Fry the fish until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. The fish should flake easily with a fork and the coating should be deep golden. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange the 2 cups lettuce and 1 shredded carrot on a serving plate. Place the fried fish on top and serve with the 0.5 cup sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately while the fish is hot and crispy.
