Sous Vide Salmon Recipe

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.
