Ingredients for 2

  • 1 6-8 oz salmon filet per person

    Set Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 115°F / 46.1°C or desired temperature from drop down

  • Step 2

    Flip the filets over and score the skin about ½ inch apart. This helps prevent the skin from curling and separating when cooking skin down during the crisping stage.

  • Step 4

    Bag your salmon with a vacuum sealer or by using a ziplock bag and the water displacement method.

    Place salmon in the water bath and sous vide for 45 minutes.

    • Finishing Steps
