Cooking:

1. For cooking, buy chilled fillets. If the meat is frozen, remove it from the refrigerator in advance and defrost. Trim off excess fat. Rinse the fillets well and pat dry with paper towels. On the side, make a deep incision, only carefully so as not to make a through cut.

2. Open like a book and beat with a kitchen hammer. To prevent the meat from tearing, cover the top with cling film or a plastic bag.
