Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season salmon fillets with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper on both sides. Place in a vacuum-sealed bag with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 minced garlic clove, removing air before sealing.
  2. Step 2: Set sous vide water bath to 120°F (49°C) and submerge bag. Cook for 1 hour for medium-rare, or 1.5 hours for medium.
  3. Step 3: While salmon cooks, melt 3 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp chopped dill, lemon zest, and 1 tbsp lemon juice, stirring constantly until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
  4. Step 4: Remove salmon from bag, discarding any oil. Pat dry with paper towels, then sear in a hot skillet with 1 tsp butter for 45 seconds per side until golden edges form.
  5. Step 5: Pour warm dill butter sauce over salmon fillets, ensuring each piece is generously coated with the glossy sauce and fresh dill.
