Title: Sous Vide cod.
Post by: 1Bigg_ER on April 02, 2015, 07:55:51 PM

This was fantastic!!
Seasoned with sea salt, brushed with garlic and kaffir lime leaf infused ghee.
Poured a little more ghee in the bag.

Now I normally brine fish for 15 minutes to prevent it from "milking" while cooking. This time I just salted it. I'll go back to brining.

Lightly vacuum sealed. I try not to go full power when vacuum sealing fish.

40 minutes in the hot tub time machine set at 132.

Plated!!
Served over wilted baby spinach, wine cream sauce and garnished with crispy fried Shallots for texture.

That looks good. I love Cod.

Tell us more about the Kaffir Lime leaf.  What kind of flavor does it impart?

Very citrusy, cross between lemon and lime. I use it in Thai curries and steamed rice. I thought I'd experiment with it here.
It's one of those seasonings (like bay leaf) that if you don't use it is when you notice that something is missing.

Kaffir - Supposedly they were illegal to import at one time - I had a hard time finding them and a local Asian merchant said they were not legal to import due to citrus growers interests. Nothing quite like them -  guess the smell is a tad like citronella. Tough, hard leaves but imparts great flavor.

This looks like it came out of a 1st class restaurant.  Outstanding meal partner.
