Rillettes, by definition, are made from meat that is slowly cooked in seasoned fat and then beaten to paste with additional fat. With the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker, the process is easy. We like these on toast with pickled onions or cornichon. The rillettes will keep in the fridge within an air-tight container for up to a week. Note that the rillettes do need to chill for at least one hour before serving.

      When the timer goes off, remove the salmon from the bag, pat dry, and let cool for at least 10 minutes. If the filets have skin, remove and discard.
