DIRECTIONS

1. Fill and preheat the SousVide Supreme to 104F/40C.
2. Mix together the salt and sugar and completely cover the salmon in the dry cure mixture. Let sit for 30 minutes, then rinse.
3. Put the salmon portions into cooking pouches (individually or side-by-side in pairs) and vacuum seal.
4. Submerge the pouches in the water oven to cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
5. Quick chill the pouches to an ice water bath for 15 to 20 minutes.
6. Serve as an appetizer or with toasted bagels, cream cheese, onions and capers for a traditional breakfast.

* Powdered Smoke is available through online retailers.  You can instead use 6 hits of smoke from a Polyscience Smoking Gun to impart smoky flavor.
