Mahi mahi with chili lime butter

[ClimberDave]

I came across some nice fresh Mahi Mahi  with the skin removed last week.
Thought i would try cooking it sous vide.
Brined it for about 30 mins then seasoned with salt, pepper and some paprika bagged it up and dropped it in 134 degree water for 45 minutes.
I then gave it a bit of a sear on one side.

Served atop some roasted asparagus and topped it all with some chili lime butter.

I havent cooked fish SV much, this came out perfectly  will definitely do it again.

That's an appetizing eye catching plate Dave.  Interesting Siou vide.  What was the technique for the sear?
Looks like it came out perfect.

Used a hot pan with some rice bran oil for about 90 seconds.  Was hoping for more color but didnt want to over cook it.

Made some mahi tacos last nite and seared a bit longer.  Much better color that time around

  Did you make the butter?   Looks very good.

just asking, but if you SV'ed it at a lil lesser temp, could you sear it a little more?  for sear marks. I'm learning sv too.  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Yeah I made the butter as well;
4 TBS softened butter
1 tsp chili powder
Grated zest from 2 limes.

Yes  I do that with other meats  but wasnt sure what I wanted for the finishing temp of fish (dont cook fish much)   so found a SV recipe and based it on that.

So far  fish doesnt brown as quickly for me  as   beef or pork.    I dry it well  and sear in a screaming hot pan  with oil,  after a minute it  doesnt have much  carmalization yet.  And its so delicate I dont like checking too often.
