Bring the fish stock, shallots, thyme and bay leaf to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the white wine and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve and discard the herbs and the shallots.
Add the chopped herbs to the fish stock and simmer for 5 minutes. Cut the cold butter into small pieces, and whisk piece by piece into the simmering stock. Season with salt and pepper; keep warm.
Preheat the broiler.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Arrange side by side in an oiled oven-proof dish. Place the salmon under the broiler, 4 inches from the source of heat. Broil for 10 to 12 minutes until the flesh is opaque.
