Sous Vide Salmon With Caper Parsley Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with warm water. Attach a sous vide precision cooker to the pot and set temperature to 125 degrees F (51°C).
• Place shallot into a plastic bag and lay the salmon on top, skin-side down. Use a vacuum sealer to remove the air and seal the bag or use the water-immersion method. Once water temperature has reached 125 degrees F (51°C), add the bag to the pot and set timer for 45 minutes.
• Remove bag from the pot when the timer goes off and pat dry. Remove and discard the shallot.
• Heat olive oil in a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add salmon, skin-side down, and sear for 1 1/2 minutes. Flip and sear for an additional 1 1/2 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the parsley, capers, scallion and garlic in a bowl. Stir in half the olive oil. Set aside.
• Preheat a broiler or grill. Brush the salmon with the remaining oil and broil or grill close to the source of heat about two minutes on each side for medium rare, or to desired degree of doneness. Remove from the heat and allow to rest two minutes.
• Season the salmon to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add the lemon juice to the parsley mixture, drizzle or brush this mixture over the salmon and serve.

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with 4 1/2 cups water. Add salt and sugar; stir to dissolve. Submerge salmon in brine mixture and transfer to refrigerator for 5 hours.
• Drain salmon. Fill a large saucepan with 115-degree water. Place each salmon fillet in a resealable plastic bag along with 2 tablespoons oil. Seal each bag, squeezing out as much air as possible.
• Place filled bags in the 115-degree water and cook until salmon's internal temperature reaches 113 degrees, about 24 minutes, taking care that the water retains its temperature. Remove fillets from bags and transfer to a plate.
• Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Season fillets with salt and pepper. Cook fillets, turning once, about 30 seconds per side. Serve immediately.
