PREPARATION:
1. Preheat the water bath to 135 degrees F.
2. Season the halibut on both sides with salt and pepper, then add minced garlic, thyme, butter, and sliced lemons on each filet.

4. Place pouch into the water bath and cook for 45 minutes, making sure fillets are fully submerged. Use sous vide weights if needed.

9. Carefully remove and serve! Optional to add lemon or chopped parsley for garnish.
