Ingredients
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lemon, sliced thinly
Instructions
1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Preheat the sous vide water bath to 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare or 130°F (54°C) for medium.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
2. Bag and Seal:
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place each fillet in a sous vide bag. Add a drizzle of olive oil, a sprig of rosemary, and a portion of minced garlic to each bag. Top each fillet with two slices of lemon.
- Use a vacuum sealer or the water displacement method to remove the air from the bags and seal them tightly.
3. Cook in Sous Vide:
- Submerge the sealed bags in the preheated water bath. Cook for 45 minutes.
3. Finish and Serve:
- After cooking, remove the salmon from the bags. If desired, sear the salmon quickly in a hot skillet with a bit of olive oil to add a crispy exterior.
- Serve the salmon hot, garnished with the cooked lemon slices and rosemary sprigs from the bag.
Notes
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or over a bed of rice or quinoa.
The sous vide method ensures the salmon is cooked evenly and retains its natural moisture and flavor.
