Ingredients

2 Salmon fillets
½ Celery stalk
½ Carrot
½ Onion
160 g Basmati rice
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

Proceedings

1

Pre-chill the blast chiller using the pre-cooling function at -30°C.
Clean the salmon fillets and blast freeze them at -18°C for 2 hours using the freezing function. This step ensures the elimination of any potential parasites.
Store the fillets in the freezer for at least 96 hours.

2
Thaw the salmon fillets by weight using the blast chiller’s defrosting function, then dice finely to prepare a salmon tartare.
3

Pre-chill the blast chiller again to -30°C.

In a saucepan, combine roughly chopped celery, onion, and the salmon trimmings with 400 ml of water. Simmer to make a light fish stock.
Use the temperature blast chilling function with probe to cool the fumet to +3°C.
Strain the stock and transfer 160 ml of it into a sous-vide cooking bag.
Add the basmati rice, then vacuum seal the bag (vacuum level 3, sealing level 2).

4

Cook the sealed bag in a steam oven at 90°C, 100% steam for 35 minutes.

Plate the rice as a base, and garnish with fresh chives, poppy seeds, and the salmon tartare.
