-
Fillet into single (split lengthwise) or double fillets (whole side), and remove the skin (can also be done afterward).
Place the fish in a bag and vacuum pack it.
Cook the fish sous vide for 16 minutes at 52 degrees Celsius (126 degrees Fahrenheit).
This recipe is based on a 2 cm thick fish. If it is only 1 cm, then it should only be cooked for 10 minutes.
If you change the temperature to a lower temperature, you'll get a more sashimi-like fish.
If you change the temperature to a higher temperature, you'll get firmer and whiter, but also slightly dry meat.
If you shorten the time, you'll get almost raw fish.
If you extend the time, you'll get firmer and whiter meat that is less juicy.
