What is sous vide Cooking
Sous vide also known as low temperature long time cooking, is a method of cooking in which food is placed in a plastic pouch or a glass jar and cooked in a water bath for longer than usual cooking times at an accurately regulated temperature. This method has been around from 1799 and was first described by Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford in 1799. He used air as the heat-transfer medium in his experiments while attempting to see if he could roast meat in a machine which he had created to dry potatoes. Because of Modernist cooking movement, sous vide start show up in traditional kitchens.
Many people find that sous vide makes meats more tender and vegetables better-flavored. This is because the food is cooked evenly throughout, keeping the juices and the aroma inside. It has been found that sous vide method very useful for cooking fish which is very easy to overcook using traditional methods. So, from now on you won’t need to eat any dry salmon.

How I made sous vide Salmon with Ginger and Soy Sauce Marinade
First you need to brine the Salmon, otherwise you will end up with white curd-like stuff (albumin) comes out during the sous vide Cooking. According to America’s Test Kitchen most of albumin is pushed out when fish is smoked, canned or poached. I read that dry brining the salmon with salt and sugar in the ratio of 4:1 for 20 minutes is a good idea. Then wash it in ice cold water before adding any marinade.
I made a simple marinade using soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, ginger-garlic paste, olive oil , hot sauce and cilantro. You can use your favorite herb. Marinate the salmon for at least 40 minutes to 1 hour.If you have a vacuum sealer use it. I don’t have one so I used the water displacement method to seal the plastic bag with marinade.
Once your marination time of salmon is over then start the Fissler Souspreme Multi Pot with sous vide function the temperature starts at 122˚F then gradually increase to 131˚F by pressing the sous vide button .
After 40 minutes at 131˚F salmon is cooked, remove from water and sear it on a stove top or use a blow torch. Flip it a few times to get crispy sides. Enjoy with plain rice and sautéed green peas.
