Step:- 4 Place the fish fillets in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag using the premium quality vacuum sealer, ensuring the fish is in a single layer and fully coated with the marinade.

Step:- 5 Submerge the sealed bag into the preheated water bath, making sure it is fully submerged. Use a clip or weight to keep the bag submerged if required.

Step:- 6 Cook the fish in the sous vide water bath for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish should be opaque and flake easily when cooked through.
