Salmon Steak is a delicious and nutritious meal that showcases the rich, buttery flavor of salmon, complemented by a simple yet flavorful seasoning. Perfectly seared or grilled, salmon steaks offer a juicy, flaky texture with a crispy exterior, making them an impressive yet easy-to-make dish. Whether prepared with a squeeze of lemon, a garlic herb butter, or a simple marinade, this versatile fish pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. It’s a healthy and satisfying meal that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 2 salmon steaks (about 6-8 oz each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. If grilling, lightly oil the grates.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, thyme or rosemary (if using), salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Brush the salmon steaks with the marinade on both sides, ensuring they are well coated.
- Place the salmon steaks on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steaks, until the salmon is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Avoid overcooking to retain moisture and tenderness.
- Remove from the heat and let rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the salmon steaks with lemon wedges on the side and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Enjoy your Salmon Steak with your favorite side dishes for a flavorful, healthy, and elegant meal!
