Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season all over with the kosher salt and black pepper. Place each fillet in a separate zip-lock bag (or vacuum-seal bag) with 1 thyme sprig and 2–3 lemon slices. Seal the bags using the water-displacement method for zip-lock bags: lower the bag slowly into the water bath until only the zipper is above the surface, then seal — this pushes out the air. For vacuum-seal bags, seal with a vacuum sealer.
