How to cook salmon steak

Buying salmon at the store, give preference to chilled, as after cooking they will be more juicy than frozen. Instead of steak you can buy a whole salmon and then go home and chop it crosswise into pieces with a thickness of about three centimeters.

Make a marinade. To do this in a bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, salt, white pepper and dry Italian herbs mix. This blend of herbs can be purchased in any supermarket or make your own. Typically this will include Basil, nutmeg, oregano, thyme and rosemary. For a pound of salmon steaks usually require the juice of one lemon and two tablespoons of olive oil. To taste add salt and spices.

Each salmon steak spread the sauce, put in a container and leave to marinate in the fridge. The fish in the marinade should soak in for 1-2 hours.

While the salmon steaks are marinated, you can prepare the sauce for the fish. For one piece of salmon of medium size, mix two tablespoons of sour cream, one tablespoon of soy sauce and a quarter teaspoon of curry.

The easiest way to fry a salmon steak in the pan. Pour into the pan some olive oil and heat it well. Lay out the salmon slices and sear each side on high heat for thirty seconds. Then reduce heat and cook for 4-5 minutes each side until cooked. The pieces of fish and turn carefully as steaks can fall apart.

If possible, you can cook salmon steaks on the grill. For this marinated pieces put on the grill and fry until done on each side. Time this should take about 10-15 minutes. Don't forget to water the steaks leftover marinade, until they are baked on the grill. This will preserve the juiciness of the fish.

Prepared salmon steaks serve on a platter decorated with green salad. Fish pour the previously prepared sauce and garnish with lemon wedges.
