Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup pecans pieces roasted if desired
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 large salmon fillets
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Vacuum seal the salmon fillets using Hamilton Beach's vacuum sealer following the instructions and place them in the hot 125F bath. Let cook for 20-30 min. depending on desired doneness. We always cook them to 30 min.
  • While the salmon cooks make the sauce. Add the maple syrup, bourbon, orange juice and salt to a small saucepan and heat to simmering. Reduce to a slightly thickened sauce. Add the pecans. Set aside but keep warm.
  • When the salmon is done, remove the fillets from the vacuum bags, salt and pepper as desired and sear in a hot skillet in oil or butter, just until the outside is crisped. Serve with the sauce immediately.
