Instructions
- Preheat the sous vide water bath to 125°F (52°C).
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then place each fillet in a separate vacuum-sealed bag with a sprig of dill and a couple of lemon slices. Seal the bags using a vacuum sealer.
- Once the water bath has reached the desired temperature, submerge the sealed bags of salmon in the water and cook for 1 hour.

- Serve the sous vide salmon fillets with the dill sauce on the side. Enjoy!
The history of Sous Vide Salmon Fillet served with a dill sauce can be traced back to the innovative culinary techniques of French chef Georges Pralus in the 1970s. This method of cooking involves vacuum-sealing the salmon and cooking it in a water bath at a precise low temperature, resulting in a perfectly tender and moist fillet. The dill sauce, with its creamy texture and refreshing herbaceous flavor, complements the delicate taste of the salmon. This dish has become a staple in fine dining establishments and is particularly popular in regions with access to fresh, high-quality salmon, such as the Pacific Northwest. Today, renowned chefs like Thomas Keller and Gordon Ramsay have put their own spin on this classic dish, elevating it to new heights of culinary excellence. For the best version of this dish, sourcing the freshest salmon and using high-quality dill are essential. Alternatively, home cooks can experiment with different variations of the dill sauce, incorporating ingredients like Greek yogurt or horseradish for a unique twist.
