Notes

Tips:

It’s important to have a thermometer for this recipe as the aim is to cook it on a very low and even heat, allowing it to confit.

You know the oven is too hot if the oil starts to bubble and if you see protein extracting from the fish.

If the oven is still too hot on your lowest degree, leave the oven door ajar whilst cooking
