Leftover sous vide salmon and Hokkien noodles

This was a really Nice salmon and noodles dish. Full of flavour.

Hello reader,

I hope you’re well. I normally take the leftover salmon to work for lunch but today I reserved it for dinner.

If you’ve never eaten sous vide salmon before, it’s a very different texture. It flakes more easily and even for 30 minutes at 50 °C it’s difficult to keep its form.

For that reason, leftover salmon is perfect for any dish that requires flaked fish.
