📝 Ingredients

• Salmon filets

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preparation: Season your salmon filets to perfection. Place lemon slices and fresh dill on each filet, and seal them individually in vacuum-sealed bags using a reliable vacuum sealer.
2. 2Sous Vide Setup: Fill a large pot with water and set up your sous vide immersion circulator. Adjust the temperature to a perfect 130°F, allowing the water to reach the desired temperature.
3. 3Sous Vide Cooking: Immerse the vacuum-sealed salmon into the heated water bath. Cook for 30-45 minutes for 1-inch thick filets or 45 minutes to 1 hour for thicker filets. This sous vide method ensures precise cooking for moist and flavorful results.
4. 4Finishing Touch: Carefully remove the salmon from the bags, and discard the lemon slices and dill. Pat dry the salmon with paper towels, preparing them for the next step.
5. 5Pan Searing: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a touch of light olive oil. Place the salmon skin side down and give them a quick pan sear for a few seconds. This step enhances the texture and adds a delightful flavor dimension.
