Simmer, then turn down to medium low. Simmer for about 10-12 minutes, until tender.While the leeks are cooking, season the salmon with salt and pepper. On a plate, combine the herbs, garlic, and zest. Gently press one side of the salmon into the mixture. Preheat a large nonstick skillet with remaining 2 T of oil. When the pan is hot, add the fillets herb side down. Cook 2-3 minutes, turn the heat up to medium high, flip the salmon and cook for 4-5 more minutes.Add bacon to leeks.
