How To Make Salmon Steak Recipe?
- Season the Salmon: Sprinkle both sides of the salmon steaks with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Salmon: Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook for 5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden. Flip the salmon.

- Cook Through: Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, spooning the sauce over the salmon as it cooks.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
Recipe Tips:
- Use Fresh Salmon: Fresh salmon steaks will yield the best flavor and texture.
- Avoid Overcrowding the Pan: Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even searing.
- Don’t Skip the Sauce: Spoon the sauce over the salmon while cooking to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Check Doneness: The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 135°F–145°F.
- Serve with Sides: Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Allow the salmon to cool to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Freeze: Wrap each cooked salmon steak tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Place salmon steaks in a baking dish, cover with foil, and reheat at 275°F for 10–12 minutes until warmed through.
