Sous Vide Salmon

The best thing about the sous vide technique for salmon is that you can find the temperature and timing that works for you and let the Sous Vide do the hard work. These salmon fillets are moist in the center and slightly flaky on the outside. You can even customize the salmon any way you like, by adding different herbs, spices, or even a marinade or Sauce.
