Salmon steak in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to fry salmon steaks in a frying pan? Prepare all the products listed in the recipe. If you have frozen fish or ready-made steaks, then take them out of the freezer and leave at room temperature until completely thawed. Instead of salmon, you can take any red fish.

2. Step 2:

   

   If you have a whole fish, cut it into steaks about 2-3 centimeters thick. Peel off the scales, rinse and dry with paper napkins to remove excess water.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut each steak in half, as in the photo. So the fish is better marinated and cooked faster.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour olive oil into a deep small container and squeeze out lemon juice (about 2 tbsp.l.). Instead of olive oil, you can use sesame oil (it is more fragrant) or even do with ordinary vegetable oil (it will turn out no less delicious). Add your favorite seasonings to taste. Dry Italian herbs, ground paprika, allspice, basil or oregano are well suited.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add a pinch of salt or soy sauce to taste. Also add chopped fresh thyme or oregano to the marinade. Mix everything thoroughly until smooth.

6. Step 6:

   

   Put the salmon pieces in a plastic bag, and then pour the marinade. Close the bag and put it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. Instead of a bag, you can put the pieces of fish in one layer in a food container, pour the marinade and send it to the refrigerator for 15 minutes, then turn each piece to the other side and let the salmon brew for another 15 minutes.

7. Step 7:

   

   Preheat the grill pan. Send the pickled pieces to fry. Usually there is enough oil in the marinade for frying, but if necessary, add a little vegetable oil to the pan. Fry the salmon for about 2-3 minutes on medium heat.

9. Step 8:

   

   Navigate by changing the color of the meat. As it roasts, it will become lighter. I had small steaks, so 2 minutes per side was quite enough.

10. Step 9:

    

    All kinds of vegetables are very well combined with fried salmon steaks. If you have cherry tomatoes, garlic, red onion, bell pepper, zucchini or green asparagus at hand, then use them for cooking.

11. Step 10:

    

    Flip the fish to the other side.

12. Step 11:

    

    At this point, put the pieces of vegetables in the grill pan. Leave everything to fry until the fish is ready, i.e. until an appetizing golden crust appears. Vegetables soaked in oil, in which salmon is fried, turn out incredibly delicious.

13. Step 12:

    

    Ready-made steaks can be sprinkled with hot pepper if desired. Serve until it cools down!

14. Step 13:

    

    If the steaks are not overexposed in the pan, they turn out very tender, literally melting in your mouth.
