Notes

Use the freshest fish you can find for the best flavor. Don’t skip the bain-marie—it’s key to achieving that silky texture. Garnish with extra chives or a drizzle of olive oil before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap individual slices and freeze for up to 2 months. Add a splash of lemon juice to the mixture for a zesty kick.
