Sous-vide salmon tartines with caper aioli and fennel salad

(Serves four people;takes 30 minutes.)

Ingredients for tartines:

  • 1 kg. sous-videsalmon steak.
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil.
  • 200 g. mixed greens.
  • 1 bulb fennel.
  • 4 oranges.
  • 8 slices True Loaf date and fennel bread (or any preferred bread).
  • 1/2 bunch fresh dill.

Directions:

  • Make the caper aioli and salad vinaigrette first. (See separate ingredients and directions below.)
  • Toast bread slices in a 400 F oven for 5 minutes, if desired.
  • Remove salmon steak and pat dry with a paper towel. Heat a non-stick pan to medium high heat and drizzle with 2 tsp. of vegetable oil.
  • Sear salmon without disturbing it for about 2 minutes. Flip over when it can be easily moved off of pan and sear other side of salmon on high for 2 minutes. Lower heat and cook another minute to heat through. Remove steak from pan and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Peel orange and slice into wedges, removing seeds.
  • Halve, core and thinly slice fennel. Toss fennel and orange with the vinaigrette and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Wash, dry and remove dill from stems. Roughly chop and set aside.
  • Spread the caper aioli onto each slice of bread. Flake salmon into a bowl, taking care to avoid the bones and discard skin.
  • Divide the salmon onto the sliced bread on top of aioli. Sprinkle with chopped fresh dill and season with salt and pepper if desired.
  • Top the mixed greens with the fennel and orange wedges, serve along with tartines and enjoy!
