When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Remove the cod from the bag and reserve the cooking liquid.

Step 1
Heat chile oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat. When the oil just begins to smoke, add the cod and sear until slightly blackened on one side, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate.

Step 2
Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the reserved cooking liquid. Bring to a rapid simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until reduced to a thick sauce.

Step 3
Slice each cod fillet into 4 pieces and arrange on serving plates. Drizzle with reduced sauce and a few droplets of chile oil. Garnish with sliced chile and scallion. Serve.
