Ingredients
Instructions
- Rinse the salmon steaks under cold running water if necessary, then pat dry and season with salt.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and add the butter or margarine.
- When the butter or margarine has melted, fry the salmon steaks on each side until cooked through.
- Place the cooked salmon steaks in a warmed dish and keep warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, marinate the salmon steaks in lemon juice and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking. If you prefer a lighter option, substitute half the butter with olive oil. Ensure your pan is hot enough to achieve a nice sear without overcooking the salmon. For an added twist, try serving the dish with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the salmon steaks with a generous drizzle of the foaming lemon sauce for a bright flavor contrast. Pair with roasted asparagus or a quinoa salad for a complete meal. This dish also pairs beautifully with Mediterranean recipes, enhancing the freshness of the lemon sauce and the richness of the salmon.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover salmon steaks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can dry out the fish.
