Do you use the ready to eat Salmon? Or how do you prepare your salmon?

I loved prepared salmon for dinner or when we went out to eat before surgery and I just bought some of the ready to eat salmon but am nervous to try it as my tastes have changed since surgery!

I buy Norwegian farmed salmon from the local Market Basket because I love the texture and taste.  (I know, most people prefer the wild, but I find the local wild salmon a bit dry.)  I prepare it "Sous vide"  which is a French cooking style where you shrink-wrap the salmon in plastic and submerge it in a water bath at low temps. The salmon comes out soft and moist, which really appeals to me.  You can then fini**** in a frying pan on high heat to make the surface crispy, but I usually just eat it as it comes out o f the sous vide.

I've never tried the ready-to-eat salmon, but I bet it would work fine.

best wishes,

Carol

Thanks for the help!!  I'm gonna have to try that "sous vide" way to prepare the fresh stuff!
