Sous Vide Salmon
Ingredients
2 portions of salmon
2 thin slices of lemon
2 sprigs parsley
¼ cup white wine
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Method
Use paper towel to dry salmon. Salt and pepper generously.
Place in sealable bag (I used a vacuum seal, but you can use a freezer
ziplock). Add lemon parsley, half of the wine, a Tbsp olive oil, and seal bag.
Bring large pot of water to just under 120 degrees. Use a candy thermometer to
keep track. My smallest burner kept temperature above 120, so I added a cup of
cold water every few minutes to keep it around 118. Bathe salmon bags for about
30 minutes. Remove from bag and wipe off herbs and lemon, being careful not to
break salmon. Use torch or pan sear to brown.
Curry Roasted Golden Beet

olive oil, 1 Tbsp curry powder, and a little alt and pepper. Place in roasting
pan and roast for 30-40 minutes at 450 degrees. You want soft give, but not mushy.
You can roast the tomatoes at the same time on the same sheet if you want.
