Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lemon, sliced into wedges

Instructions

1. Fill a large container with water and set your sous vide precision cooker to 130°F (54°C).
2. Season the salmon fillets with sea salt and black pepper.
3. In a small bowl, mix the chopped dill, parsley, and minced garlic.
4. Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets and press the herb mixture on top of each fillet, ensuring an even coating.
5. Place each salmon fillet in its own vacuum-seal or resealable zip-lock bag, ensuring the herbs stay intact on top of the fish.
6. Seal the bags using a vacuum sealer or the water displacement method if using zip-lock bags.
7. Submerge the sealed bags in the preheated water bath and cook for 45 minutes.
8. Once cooked, carefully remove the bags from the water bath. Gently remove the salmon fillets from the bags, being cautious not to disturb the herb crust.
9. Serve the herb-infused salmon fillets on a sleek white plate, accompanied by a lemon wedge and a sprig of fresh dill.

Helpful Tips

• Variation: Experiment with different herbs such as thyme or rosemary for a unique flavor twist.
• Simplify: For a quicker prep, use a premade herb blend that you love.
• Storage: Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Gently reheat in the oven at low temperature to retain moisture.
• Substitutions: For a different take, replace the parsley with cilantro for a fresher, zesty taste.

Pairings

• Side Dishes: Serve with a crisp cucumber salad or roasted asparagus for a balanced meal.
• Drinks: Pair with a chilled glass of white wine or sparkling water with a splash of lemon.
