Sous Vide Miso Salmon

Anova Culinary

If you dislike overcooked, dry salmon, you'll absolutely love this recipe - because it's cooked perfectly every single time. The salmon is cooked at 40ºC for 30 minutes, and because it's cooked in a miso and mirin marinade, it's also packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 104ºF (40ºC).
  2. Place the salmon in a large zipper lock or vacuum seal bag. Add the miso, mirin, and brown sugar. Seal the bag using the water immersion technique or a vacuum sealer on the moist setting.
  3. Place the bag in the water bath and set the timer for 30 minutes.

Finishing Steps

  1. When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Gently remove the salmon from the bag and discard any remaining cooking liquid.
  2. Heat oil in a medium non-stick skillet over high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the salmon and sear until well-browned on top and bottom, about 1 minute total. Transfer to a cutting board.
  3. Slice salmon into 1/2-inch-thick pieces (optional), top with sesame seeds, and serve with rice or a salad.
