Do
- 1
Pour the oil into a shallow baking dish. You need to be sure that the oil will cover the salmon adequately once it is heated.
- 2
Place into an 80°C oven. Test the temperature of the oil every 10 minutes until it reaches 70°C. You will need to use a digital thermometer for this process.
- 3
Place the salmon into the heated oil and turn the oven temperature down to 70°C.
- 4
Cook the salmon for exactly 10 minutes. Remove from the oil immediately. It should be translucent and pink in the middle. If you like it cooked a little longer, leave it in for another few minutes, but it will continue to cook once removed from the oil.
- 5
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the salsa by combining all ingredients except the peas. (Remove the peas from the freezer to thaw.)
- 6
Toast the seed mixture on a medium heat until fragrant.
- 7
Spread a spoonful of the creme fraiche on serving plates and sprinkle with the seed mixture.
- 8
Place the salmon on top and then add the peas to the salsa before piling on top of the salmon. Garnish with more dill leaves if you have some available.
