Tender and moist salmon topped with a luscious cranberry ginger mustard sauce. Ā It’s delicious and it couldn’t be easier!

salmon recipe cranberry sauce mustard dijon herbs ginger christmas holidays thanksgiving recipe easy fast sous vide baked grilled broiled pan friedI’ve teamed up with Hamilton Beach to bring you this delicious post!

Last week I found an incredible deal on fresh cranberries at a roadside produce stand: Ā 2-pound bags for $2. Ā Our family are all avid smoothie drinkers and being the berry-maniacs we are, I grabbed 15 bags. Ā I schlepped them home and threw them in the chest freezer and we’ve been enjoying our daily smoothies with those wonderfully healthy, nutrient-dense cranberries ever since.

With 30 pounds of cranberries I’ve also been going to work creating some cranberry-themed dishes and making my own cranberry sauces and relishes for canning. Ā Here’s one example, a dish I made for dinner last night and you’re going to love how fantasticallyĀ easyĀ and delicious it is!

I used my latest kitchen appliance to cook the salmon, the new Hamilton Beach Professional Sous Vide and 6 Qt. Slow Cooker, and was very happy with the results.

It’s a 2-in-1 appliance, giving you two of the most convenient cooking methods in one compact countertop appliance.

Most of you are already familiar with a slow cooker: Ā Place the ingredients in the slow cooker, program the cooking time and temperature, and then go about your day as usual. Ā When the program ends, the slow cooker will automatically switch to warm. Ā When you come back home you’ll have a ready-made meal waiting for you. Ā And cleanup is a breeze.

How many of you have worked with a sous vide water oven? Ā Sous videĀ isĀ a cooking technique that literally means ā€œunder vacuumā€. Ā Its hallmark is precisely cooked food and is what what many professional chefs rely on, including upscale restaurants. Up until recently sous vide water ovens were only available for commercial kitchens – now they’re available for the home cook.

Sous vide involves placing the food in an airtight bag and submerging it under water in a precise temperature-controlled water bath. Ā The food is cooked evenly throughout, reducing the risk of over- and under-cooking and the result is incredibly tender and moist food. Ā The sous vide method is the perfect way to achieve the best steaks. Ā Cook them so they’re tender, moist and pink inside, then remove them from the bags and finish them off with a quick high-heat searing. Ā Exceptional for cooking meats and fish, the sous vide is also great for eggs, fruits, vegetables, and even desserts.

Sous vide water bath temperature can be set from 104°F to 210°F (40°C to 99°C) and can be programmed to cook between one and 72 hours.  Combine that with a glass lid for easy viewing, large handles for easy carrying, a sous vide rack to keep the food from touching each other, programming controls with LED indicator lights, a classic stainless steel interior and a 5-year limited warranty, the Hamilton Beach Professional Sous Vide and 6 Qt. Slow Cooker is an awesome countertop appliance makes cooking both convenient and enjoyable.

I love the 2-in-1 feature because I can use both the slow cooker and sous vide methods without having to have two separate appliances taking up space.

I’m going to make today’sĀ Salmon with Cranberry Ginger Mustard Sauce using the sous vide method for an ultra tender, moist and delicate salmon.

You can also bake the salmon, grill, or pan-fry it, whichever you prefer. Ā See the alternative instructions in the recipe box at the bottom of the post.

Let’s get started!

Place the salmon filets in heat-safe, BPA-free and PVC-free resealable bags (read more about itĀ HERE). Ā Press as much of the air out of the bags as you can and seal them tightly shut.

sous-vide-8

The sous vide cookerĀ comes with a rack so you can place multiple bags in it without the food touching each other.

We’re going to fill the sous vide water bath with water, bring it up to temperature, set the timer, and then place each bag in the slots.

Then close the lid and go about your business. Ā The sous vide cooker will beep when it’s done.

sous-vide-3

I programmed the cooker for 122 degrees F for 30 minutes for a perfectly moist, tender and flaky salmon.

sous-vide-4

Now it’s time to glaze the salmon filets. Ā Place the filets on a lightly greased cookie sheet.

We’re going to use this delicious Cranberry Ginger Mustard Sauce, you can find the recipe HERE.

Generously spoon the sauce over each filet.

Set the oven to broil.

Broil the filets in a preheated oven for about a minute.

Don’t over-broil it or it will dry out salmon.

Instructions

    Wow! This would help immensely…I’m recovering from surgery and still have long road of treatment ahead. Anything to assist with cooking is a bonus ;)

    I love the versatility of the Hamilton Beach Sous Vide and Slow Cooker. If I win this machine, it’ll be nice for once to get home, whether at 9 pm or 11 pm, and have something hot and fresh to eat – like the tender, moist salmon above!

    This is an incredible machine and I would love to add it to my many other culinary wonders; I would probably use it for a swordfish dish.

    I love slow cookers, and a favorite recipe showcases mushrooms. But sous vide cooking sounds tres delicious, and I would love to experience this technique.

    I was going to use it to keep separate items warm; but scrolling down I saw the word curry.

    This looks like the easiest entry to sous vide cooking. Some of the “cheffier” equipment seems ridiculously priced for the home cook. Plus, I could say sous vide frequently and raise my left eyebrow!

    This looks real tasty and juicy. LOVE salmon!
    I wonder how it would work for a simple Oriental veggie dish over thin rice pasta – an all in one dish?
    Thank you, Kimberly.

    With the exception of a boil-in-bag frozen dinner that I tried in the 1980’s I’ve never attempted sous vide so that will be an exciting new food experience. I know the slow cooker would get lots of use. Two of my fav recipes are beef chilli and Mexican pulled pork.

    I would use it at least 3 times a week for things like soups and roast and fish this is the coolest I have ever seen in my life to be able to do both in one!

    I’d use the sous vide process to cook fish and chicken breasts. I think it would keep them nice and moist.
