Sous Vide Salmon
serves 4

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Brine the fish in a 9% salt solution (1T salt in 1C water) for 10 minutes to reduce albumin exudation. Rinse off the brining solution and pat the fish dry. Place in a sous vide bag and exhaust the air from the bag. Include the oil in the sous vide bag to help keep the fillets from sticking to each other. Optionally add any aromatics you desire.
  2. Sous vide the salmon for 1 hour at your choice of the following temperatures:
  3. Doneness Temperature
    Like firm sashimi 105 deg
    Soft and buttery 110 deg
    Translucent and starting to flake 115 deg
    Very moist, tender and flaky 120 deg
    Firm, moist, and flaky 130 deg
    Very well-done 140deg
  4. If the salmon still has skin on it, optionally sear the skin in a very hot skillet.
