Sous Vide Basics: SALMON and SAUCES

[@SousVideEverything]

This is our 3rd Episode of "Basics with Guga" I've already did Steak & Sauces, Pork & Sauces and Now Salmon & Sauces. You can see them all on Basics Playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLZZVz8U81OzZXo7-D9dAFKS4pwD4zz6o0 Now I ask you, what would you like me to cover on the next episode of Basics with Guga? Please comment below. #StaySafe #StayHome #StayHealthy.

[@Ibegood]

I would love to see a video on using sous vide for different vegetables. I love your sous vide mashed potatoes, but haven't seen preparations for many other veggies.

[@pbarany]

Great video, Guga. I would be interested in how thickness, temperature and cooking time impact the texture and doneness of the meat. Any steak could do, but pork tenderloin could be also exciting.

I'm VERY new to sous vide and today I made the salmon (131 degrees for 1 hour) & it was delicious!! I 'browned" it on the outdoor grill for about 2m per side - perfect. I made the "hot salmon sauce" (but, added garlic) and it was also delicious!!!! TY! TY!!!

@Vanness Tan no. Tallow and fat are slightly different.

[@jakethesnake9528]

@@lindseyormsbee Lard is pig fat that has been rendered down into a more stable form. Most lard comes from ‘leaf fat’ or back fat. It’s commonly sourced from a pig’s belly or the area around its internal organs. Tallow is beef fat that has been rendered down into a more stable form. Most tallow is made from a cow’s kidney fat or suet.

[@YourHomieJC]

My first time trying sous vide properly was with this salmon recipe and it's really delishious. The salmon just melts in your mouth and with the "hot" sauce it tastes extremely creamy. I tried this recipe with some cauliflower and mashed potatoes but something did go very wrong that others should keep in mind. I do have a sous vide circulator (anova nano), but no vacuum machine or vacuum bags because i thought some ziplock bags would do just fine. Even though they were advertised as heavy duty ziplock bags, the edges of the bags ended up losing strength probably due to the heat and breaking while in the water bath, so water got mixed in my potatoes while they were cooking and the cream cheese and butter spilled into the water bath. Somehow as a result of this not all the potatoes got fully cooked through, but that might be because my water bath was just barely big enough for such big bags so circulation might have been impaired. Cooking the potatoes like this also takes a lot longer than just 2 hours because getting the water heated up to 180F takes a while, a good 30 minutes if you start with hot water and a lot lot longer if you start with cold. Due to this accident with ziplock bags i double bagged the salmon just in case it would happen again, the last thing you want is water mixed in with your fresh expensive salmon. I was able to fix the potatoes for the most part by mashing them up and adding some cream cheese and butter afterwards, putting it back in a bag and back into the water bath until i had to serve. It wasn't very creamy because obviously most of the cream cheese and butter was lost and there were still some crumbs of hard potato left, but it was edible and still pretty tasty. Make sure if you're like me and you don't have a vacuum machine you absolutely make sure your ziplock bags are closed properly, I had cooked a 1 inch ribeye steak sous vide earlier but the bag opened a little and a little bit of water got in. It didn't compromise the quality much but it looked kind of grey in the middle and some of the seasoning was washed off. If you're still afraid of that have the opening of the bag above the water stuck under the lid or something. Also, with the lack of a vacuum machine most of your products will float, so just put some weight on it (in my case i was able to use a heavy iron grid thing, but it wasnt heavy enough to squish the produce). When using ziplock bags you're probably ok with just using 1 if you're not gonna be cooking for very long at high temperatures, like salmon isnt cooked at a very high temperature or for very long either, unlike the potatoes. If you're cooking something at either high temperature or for a long time with ziplock bags, double bag them just in case.

Hold on, Guga: did you pour the oil into a cold pan? I ask because a great way to avoid food sticking in a stainless steel frying pan is to heat the pan until sizzling hot, then add the oil. I like to test the heat by sprinkling in a drop or two of water; when the water immediately beads up, the pan is ready. Martin Yan used to say, "hot pan, cold oil: food won't stick".

[@AHG1347]

Same with Geoff Smith the Frugal Gourmet

[@Rob-df6py]

Me Here - this is true, but best with cast iron or carbon steel pans. Stainless pans tend to be "clad", meaning a disk of metal (usually aluminum) sandwiched between 2 disks of steel as the base of the skillet. Heating that dry causes metals to heat at different rates and if too fast, warps the pan. Also, never heat a non-stick pan dry, this could overheat the nonstick chemicals, which is a known carcinogen.

Loving the content of these videos. When I’m storing meat or fish in the freezer, I’ve been individually freezing the units on a tray just until hard frozen, then vacuum sealing them so the life isn’t sucked out by the vacuum sealer (Food Saver in my case). The first time I used it, I didn’t do that and the machine sucked all the juices out of the beef and to this day, I couldn’t tell if it was beef or pork when I used them. Of course I neglected to label them ‘cause of course I can tell what is what by looking at it. Not this time, Honey! Tasted like literally nothing so a lot of sauce was employed but the Food Saver was retired to the basement but I pulled it out a couple years ago and use it almost daily now. Once again, thanks for the content. BTW: what does he mean he isn’t going to eat “all that butter”. Why not? Another channel claims “butter makes your pants fall off” (weight loss; nothing naughty).

[@ricardiumhues]

hey guga, I stopped sous viding my fish as I found it was harder to get a good texture when searing no matter how hot I had my pan. Recently it occured to me that this was because cooked fish is super tender when cooked perfect which makes it similar to things like short rib. ...So I seared first. works so well. the crust goes soft again in the bag but the maillard flavours come though extra strong and pre searing seems to lock in the albumin. if you love a strong crust on your fish you might not like it but I prefer the buttery texture and concentrated maillard flavour

[@roberthedrick1397]

As far as I'm concerned, searing with a flame torch is the way to go. Super easy and fast!

[@ricardiumhues]

@@roberthedrick1397 I can't argue with this as I enjoy it when I can get it but I don't have one and my presenting method above with a pan has been very effective so I might not to and additional price yet

[@UsagiTGR]

Good video. For those that actually enjoy raw fish, I strongly suggest going with 50C, not 55C. It's the world's difference, I feel 55C makes it too firm (like an over cooked well done steak) and 45C leaves it squishy, like a warm piece of sashimi which has a very odd texture as the meat is raw but the oily tissue has melted away. 50C is cooked, but more like a medium rare steak. I also prefer to leave the skin on and sear it to a golden crisp, but not sear the meaty side as that transfers too much heat and over cooks the fish. Safety note! Please note that if you are using FRESH salmon (versus frozen salmon), you need to keep the core temperature at 45C for a minimum of 78 minutes, or at 50C for 10 seconds or more in order to kill the parasite anisakis. (This is NOT pasteurization temperatures, it is the temperatures necessary to kill the most common fresh fish parasite which can cause you excruciating pain for a couple days, or even death if you have an allergic reaction to the parasite.)

Many would say it's ruined. Anything more than raw is wrong. I mix the two - sear the salmon (seasoned with salt) on a hot grill, then drizzle a little lemon on. No cooking at all.
