I took a fillet of salmon out of the freezer for the SO's dinner, and as
she's on some sort of health kick, rather than just fry it up in the pan
like I always do, I decided to go 'healthy' and sous vide it.

Got it all ready, patted it dry, dressed it with minimal EVOO, a dash of
Maldon, a sprinkle of FGBP, and some little pieces of lemon.

Put it in the bag and vacumn sealed it, then put it in the 'bath'. Kept
the temp between 53-60c and had it in for 15mins.

The SO made her own salad, and I dished up the fish.

Found out during the cooking (via GIYF) that the fish should be brined
first to stop the albumem(?) from coming out and spoiling the 'look'.

It wasn't too bad looking.

The SO's verdict........ beautifully cooked, and for if it was someone
who likes the salmon flavour, she would have given it a 9/10.

She prefers it fried, because it tends to mask/break up the
"overwhelming salmon flavour"!!

I tried a little bit, to me it was a little overcooked, maybe due to the
temp fluctuation of trying to keep it steady on the stovetop, but it was
tender and tasty, so I'm now on the hunt for a sous vide cooker :-)

Pics will come soon as I find the connection for my camera to this
laptop.

To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one.
It is rather and endless struggle
that will go on to the very last moment of our lives.
Nobody is born a warrior,in exactly the same way that
nobody is born an average man.
We have to make ourselves into one or the other.
A warrior must only take care that his spirit is not broken.
