Description
Sous‑vide slow‑cooked fish with citrus brine is a low‑temperature, high‑precision technique that preserves moisture and tenderness while infusing bright citrus flavors.
Technical
At 50–55 °C the myosin proteins in fish denature gently, allowing the protein matrix to retain water without coagulating collagen. The citrus brine, with a pH of 3.5–4.0, diffuses citric acid, limonene, and citral into the flesh, enhancing flavor and inhibiting bacterial growth during the hold.
Science
