Title: Halibut with the Joule
Post by: zueth on April 20, 2018, 06:41:23 PM

I love Halibut, but it is very easy to overcook and becomes dry, just 1 minute too long the grill and no good.

So I thought the SV would be perfect for Halibut and it was.  I rubbed with garlic olive oil, seasoned with Pike Place seafood seasoning, and put a slice of lemon and TBL of olive oil in bag and vacuum sealed then put them in the Joule at 137 for 45 minutes.  Pulled, patted dry, hit the fillets with a torch, and drizzled the reserved juices over the fish.  They turned out great and where nice and moist.  The one thing that I didn't get was the lemon flavor, maybe next time I will try lemon zest.

Plated with sauteed mushrooms

Our Joule is good on everything we have tried but really shines on fish, chicken and vegetables.

Looks awesome!!

Just recently started doing fish sous vide,   so far  halibut and Mahi Mahi.  Comes out great!   I always seem to overcook a tad other ways.

Chicken and  lean pork also  comes out great.

I typically use the breast meat. Tenderize it a little with a tenderizer or a rolling pin. Place in bag with fresh thyme leaves a little salt and pepper and evoo as optional. Then vacuum seal. Place in water bath at 158* for around 90 minutes. Remove from bag, dry off with paper towel, sprinkle some flour on the meat and sear in hot pan with evoo. To get darker sear use a weight like a brick or ??? and remove when seared to your liking. Temperatures can be a little lower or even hotter dependent on texture of the chicken you want to achieve. Joule has an app to use to follow a recipe and determine temperatures and times or wing it based on your own knowledge and experience.
