Essential Turbo Guide to Farmed Atlantic Salmon

Instructions

• 1Place the Joule Turbo Sous Vide inside a pot or large vessel (max 8 litres) and place on a trivet. Fill with cool tap water until approximately halfway between the minimum and maximum fill lines and keep the pot uncovered.
  Tip: A trivet will protect your benchtop from direct contact with the hot pot or vessel. 
• 2Place the salmon in a microwave-safe, zip-lock freezer bag, then sprinkle with salt and add the oil. If cooking 2 fillets, place flat, in the bag side by side, ensuring the fillets are separated. If cooking more, use multiple bags.
  Tip: You can substitute the oil for any flavoured oil or butter. Also feel free to add your favourite herbs, spices or dry rub.
• 3In Breville+, press Set Time & Temp at the bottom of the screen and follow the prompts to customise the cooking of your salmon. Once set, lower the bag into the water against the side of the pot, while using a spatula to push it three-quarters of the way down. This will remove the air and ensures it does not float. Seal the bag and Start Turbo. 
• 4When the timer signals that the salmon is done, carefully remove the bag from the water. Place the salmon on a paper towel lined cooling rack set over a tray and pat dry. Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-based frying pan over high heat.
  Tip: The salmon can also be served without searing if you prefer.
• 5Only when the pan starts to smoke (this will prevent overcooking and sticking), add 1 tablespoon of oil and sear the salmon for 30 seconds on each side. Repeat as necessary to cook all fillets.
• 6Transfer the salmon to a serving plate and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  Tip: It's great drizzled with herb oil.
