Instructions
- 1Place the Joule Turbo Sous Vide inside a pot or large vessel (max 8 litres) and place on a trivet. Fill with cool tap water until approximately halfway between the minimum and maximum fill lines and keep the pot uncovered. Tip: A trivet will protect your benchtop from direct contact with the hot pot or vessel.
- 2Place the salmon fillets in a microwave-safe, zip-lock freezer bag, side by side, ensuring the fillets are separated. Sprinkle with salt and add the oil.
- 3In Breville+, press Set Time & Temp at the bottom of the screen and follow the prompts to customise the cooking of your salmon. Once set, lower the bag into the water against the side of the pot, while using a spatula to push it three-quarters of the way down. This will remove the air and ensures it does not float. Seal the bag and Start Turbo, then continue to the next step.
- 4To make the ancho spice, combine the onion flakes, garlic, oregano, chilli powder and ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. To make the salad dressing, whisk the lime zest, juice, chipotle in adobo, honey, cumin, ½ teaspoon salt and oil in a separate bowl.
- 5Place the salad leaves, coriander, cucumber, tomato, avocado, capsicum and onion in a shallow serving bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with the pepitas.
- 6When the timer signals that the salmon is done, carefully remove the bag from the water. Remove the fillets from the bag and place on a cooling rack set over a tray to drain away any excess water.
- 7Transfer the salmon to a serving plate and sprinkle with the ancho spice. Serve with the salad and lime wedges.
