Sous Vide Halibut with Thai Green Curry, Herbs, Roasted Peppers

in Seafood
Been a while since I posted anything but this one is worthy of noting (and putting the recipe somewhere I can share and revisit myself)

fish cook: dry brined with 4:1 kosher salt to raw sugar for 30 min. Rinsed and sous vide 45 min @ 130. I seared my piece on one side after the bath, TFJ did not. We were both very happy with the results. Texture was unreal.  Perfect time and temp for halibut (thanks to Kenji for that) 



Curry Paste (from Epicurious)


TFJ’s revisions:

Substitute 
3 Serranos
1 tsp fish sauce for shrimp paste
3 small bay leaves, zest of 3 limes and zest of 1 lemon for kaffir lime leaves

green curry sauce:


TFJ’s revisions:

2 Tbsp curry paste
2 tbsp fish sauce (none at finish)
Reduce by half 
Sub Thai basil if possible

    Dude... I’d be all over that. Haven’t delved into making Thai curry pastes from scratch, but this definitely inspires me to.

    SV must be a great way to prep fish. The cook looks most excellent.

    It’s what we use it for the most. Seems the more delicate the ingredients, the better suited they are for Sous vide.

    Every time I see a cook like this I say I'm going to SV my fish next time I get some and I talk myself out of it.......ALWAYS.  I think this may be just the kick in the azz that I need.  Thanks for posting because it looks incredible!!!

    Great cooks. Have to remember to do forum search on 'green thai curry' next time, my bookmarks are getting out of control  :)
    IMO SV is kind of an oxymoron ... great for delicate fish but also great for tough blade roast.
