Sous Vide Mahi Mahi with Jalapeno-Lime Butter
Traditional methods of cooking mahi mahi can leave it dry, but cooking it sous vide in its own juices ensures tender and moist results. I try and find fillets that about 1-inch thick. Serve with cilantro rice or atop a salad.
🔗 Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
Fill a large pot with water and place a sous vide immersion cooker into the water.
Set temperature to 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
Cut mahi mahi fillet into 4 equal portions.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place fish into 1 large or 4 small vacuum bags and seal using a vacuum sealer.
Place bags into the water and set timer for 30 minutes.
Combine butter, jalapeño, lime juice, lime zest, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.
Carefully remove mahi mahi from the bag and pat dry completely with paper towels.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
Add mahi mahi, skin-side up, to shimmering oil.
Sear until lightly browned, 30 to 45 seconds.
Remove immediately from heat and serve each portion with a dollop of jalapeno-lime butter.
