Ingredients

Directions

  1. Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 125°F (51°C).
  2. Combine the scallops, cream, egg, and salt in a food processor. Process until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  3. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on a clean counter. Transfer the scallop mixture to the plastic wrap and shape into a log. Wrap the plastic wrap around the mixture and roll tight. Tie off the ends.
  4. Place the plastic-wrapped log in a large zipper lock or vacuum seal bag. Seal the bag using the water immersion technique or a vacuum sealer on the moist setting. Place 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. Remove the scallop log from the bag and unwrap. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Lay the smoked salmon flat on a clean surface. Lay the scallop log in the center of the salmon. Wrap salmon completely around the scallops. Wrap the log with plastic wrap, roll tight, and tie off the ends.
  3. Refrigerate the wrapped mousse for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, slice with a very sharp knife.
