In his salmon with salad cream recipe, Luke Holder lightly cures the fish before cooking it sous vide. Many only know the wonders of pre-made salad cream, but once you make your own, you won't go back. If you can't find pickled shallots in the shops, finely sliced, delicately pickled onions will work just as well.
