Vacuum packing machine for smoked salmon
Smoked salmon is a festive and delicate product. Whether bought as a whole pack or sliced at home, it oxidizes very quickly when exposed to air and loses its beautiful orange color. Are you looking for a way to preserve it longer without altering its melt-in-your-mouth texture?
The solution is vacuum sealing. This technique protects the salmon from oxidation and refrigerator odors. However, the flesh of smoked salmon is very tender and fatty: an unsuitable machine risks crushing it and releasing the oil.

Pro Tip: How to vacuum-seal sliced salmon?
The problem with sliced salmon is that the slices stick together once vacuum-sealed.
- Use a baking tray (base): Slip a small gold cardboard board (like the kind used by caterers) or a sheet of stiff parchment paper into the bag. Arrange your slices on top. This keeps the salmon nice and flat.
- Layer with parchment paper: If you're stacking the slices, place a small square of parchment paper between each slice. This will allow you to defrost and remove slice by slice!
