Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 2 pieces salmon belly
- A pinch of salt
- 500ml olive oil
- Mayonnaise to taste
- 1/2 apple
- 1 lime
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- A pinch of peperoncino
- Fresh dill to taste
- A pinch of pepper
Recipe 🍳
- Trim the salmon belly into uniform, attractive pieces.
- Pat the salmon dry thoroughly with paper towels on both sides. Sprinkle generously with salt for seasoning and let it sit for a while.
- Pour enough olive oil into a pot to fully submerge the salmon and heat it to 50 degrees Celsius.
- Gently wipe off any moisture that rises to the surface of the salmon under cold or ice water. Then, place the salmon in the 50-degree olive oil and cook at a low temperature for 15-20 minutes.
- While the salmon is cooking, combine minced garlic, lime juice, and peperoncino in a bowl. Finely dice the peeled apple into very small cubes (brunoise) and add it to the mixture.
- Add a little olive oil, chopped dill, and pepper to the dressing and mix well to complete the sauce.
- Carefully remove the tender, cooked salmon from the oil, allowing excess oil to drain lightly, and place it on a plate.
- Drizzle mayonnaise in a zigzag pattern over the salmon, then generously spoon the prepared apple dressing on top.
- Garnish the plate with dill sprigs and finish with a sprinkle of lime zest, if desired.
- Prepare the salmon and season with salt.
- Cook the salmon in olive oil heated to 50 degrees Celsius for 15-20 minutes at a low temperature.
- Mix apple, lime juice, garlic, dill, and olive oil to create a special apple dressing.
- Arrange the salmon on a plate and top with mayonnaise and apple dressing.
Cooking tips 💡
- The key to salmon confit is maintaining a consistent oil temperature between the mid-40s and 50 degrees Celsius. If the oil gets too hot, the proteins will coagulate and turn white.
- The leftover olive oil from cooking is infused with the flavor of the salmon and can be reused in various dishes like pasta, pan-seared fish, or fried eggs.
