Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 143ºF (62ºC).

Step 2
Place each yolk in its own small zipper lock bag. Carefully seal the bag, being careful not to break the yolk. Place the bags in the water bath and clip to the sides of the pot. Set the timer for 1 hour.
-
Step 3
A few minutes before the egg yolks are finished, prepare the salmon toasts. Spread crème fraiche or cream cheese over toasts, if using. Fold salmon slices over crème fraiche, keeping in mind that you want the egg yolk to sit on top and not roll off.
