Sous Vide Teriyaki Salmon

Anova Culinary

If you like your salmon silky smooth and luscious, then the sous vide should be your new culinary Holy Grail. As each layer of salmon flakes away, it reveals the next layer of juicy pink flesh – each shining with a ridiculous amount of moisture. In this recipe I’ve cooked it in teriyaki marinade and served it with egg noodles, a teriyaki-soy dipping sauce and Japanese side salad. Simply delicious.
