PREPARATION:
- Preheat water bath to 115 degrees F (46 degrees C) for rare, 120 degrees F (49 degrees C) for medium-rare,125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for medium-well, and 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for well. We recommend medium-rare.
- Season the salmon fillet generously with kosher salt and pepper.
- Place in vacuum sealable bag and seal. Add to water bath and cook for 45 minutes - 1 hour.
- While the salmon is cooking, prep the sauce. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant (2-3 minutes). Add the white wine and lemon juice. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add the butter 1 tbsp at a time, stirring to melt the butter and thicken the sauce. Once completely incorporated, remove from heat and stir in the chopped dill.
- When done cooking, remove from vacuum sealed bag and place on a platter.
- Drizzle sauce over the salmon fillet. Garnish with the sprigs of dill if desired and serve.
