A different take on summer seafood: sous vide salmon

We spent an afternoon with chef Him Uy de Baron at Rustan’s Shangri-la, where he showed us a fool-proof way to prepare steak (you can check out the recipe for that here) and salmon using a sous vide machine.

Sous vide is a French cooking method which involves putting ingredients—in our case, steak and salmon—in a vacuum-sealed bag to be cooked submerged in water at an exact temperature.

The method may appear complicated, but it’s actually quite easy, and it results in steak and salmon that’s cooked just right, without the risk of burning or overcooking.

For casual summer lunches, set your table with patterned plates and colorful tablecloth, like these ones from Portmeirion and from Benson Mills, respectively.

When cooking salmon with the sous vide method, it’s best to set the temperature between 50°C to 52°C. Cooking it higher than that (at around 60°C or more) will result to a canned-like salmon.

If you don’t have a sous vide machine, an alternative way to preparing this dish is by slowly poaching it in olive oil.

Use a sauce pan to gently simmer the salmon in olive oil for around 45 minutes. Don’t forget to watch the temperature using a thermometer.

If you don’t have a vacuum sealer, you can use the immersion technique to seal the bag.
