Step 1
Shot. Fish broth: weighed ingredients beside the heating pan. Natural window light, ivory linen, handmade ceramic, no text, no logo. Show the action, then a jump cut through the wait. Do not film the full Heat 5 min in real time.
Voiceover. Set out a scale and the equipment for Fish broth. Heat to a quiet simmer, about 195°F / 90°C and give it 5 minutes so the surface is actually hot. Weigh white fish fillet, potato, carrot, tomato, garlic, olive oil, flat-leaf parsley, kosher salt. Fish broth is cooked in Slovenia as its own dish. A light coastal fish soup. Keep the simmer gentle. Amounts are scaled for four from foods this library can count, so the nutrition panel comes from those ingredients.

Step 5
Shot. Fish broth: checking the center for doneness. Natural window light, ivory linen, handmade ceramic, no text, no logo.

Voiceover. Rest Fish broth for 5 minutes, then taste and adjust the salt. Serve it in the way it is eaten in slovenia, with the sauce or garnish that belongs to it. Film Fish broth in this shot order and no other: the lid lifted for one quick look; the oven dial and a hot rack; a colander and a cloud of steam; fish just turning opaque and flaking. Slate words for the editor: zephyr, skillet, shimmer, nacre, iris, basket, whisk, tender, quiet, kiln.

Scene 11 · doneness · 6s
How you know it is done

Voiceover. Fish broth is done when the thickest piece yields to a fork and the liquid is quiet, not at a hard boil.
On screen. Doneness
Scene 12 · mistakes · 7s
If it goes wrong
Shot. Split screen is unnecessary. Show the finished, correct texture, then a hand points at the cue.
Voiceover. Fish broth looks done at the edge and is still raw in the center. Trust the cue, not the color. Check the thickest piece and give it a few more minutes. Fish broth turned out salty, dry, or watery. Weigh the salt and the liquid next time. Keep the heat at the temperature in the method, and stop when the doneness cue appears.

Machine-readable script for a later video tool. Scene durations are edit lengths, not cooking times. Long simmers and bakes are jump cuts. Order: hook, title, mise, equipment, one scene per numbered step (shot, on-screen text, voiceover, duration), doneness, fixes, storage, nutrition, plate, and the closing CTA. Keep the shot list and on-screen facts tied to this recipe.
