You must not have a sous vide rig. They are cheap today. Butter poached salmon with lemon and dill @ 120 for 20 minutes with the skin finished in blazing hot cast iron for 20 to 30 seconds. You will cry. I am not even going to mention how good your steaks can be or 48 hour brisket medium rare and tender as filet.
Get a sous vide rig. https://anovaculinary.com/what-is-sous-vide/
You're certainly right there. The very last thing I would do to a good piece of meat is soak it in goop, and then poach it in water.
