Fried salmon steaks. Recipe for juicy salmon in a pan

Salmon steaks can be cooked very quickly and tasty. All we need for this is salmon steaks, preferably fresh, salt, pepper and olive oil. Already with this minimum of products you will get an excellent fish steak.

Today I propose to refine the salmon a little and cook it in teriyaki sauce and with salsa of pineapple, chili pepper and mint that complements the taste of fish very well.

Let's prepare all the products according to the list for cooking salmon steak in a pan.

I have the opportunity to buy both wild salmon and salmon grown on fish farms. Wild salmon has such a light pink color. The taste of the meat of wild and farm salmon is not at all different.

Cooking salmon is easy. To do this, put the pan on the fire and pour in the vegetable oil. I use olive. As soon as the oil warms up, put the salmon steak in the pan. Fry one side for 2 minutes and flip the steak to the other side.

We also fry the second side for 2 minutes, and while it is fried, grease the top of the already fried side of the salmon with teriyaki sauce using a silicone brush.

Then turn the steak over and brush the top of the steak with the sauce. Fry each side for 2 more minutes.

IMPORTANT: the frying time is very relative, because it depends on the thickness of the steak, my steak was quite thin, so I fry it in the end for 4 minutes on each side.

Now let's prepare the salsa to serve our salmon steak. For this canned pineapple cut into small cubes, and chili pepper and mint very finely chop with a knife.

Combine all salsa ingredients and place on top of steak.

cooked on pan steak we serve salmon with rice, but even with salsa alone, the steak turns out to be self-sufficient.

Salmon steak prepared in this way will decorate any festive table, the sauce does not interrupt the taste of the fish at all, the salmon turns out to be juicy, tender and very tasty, the salsa perfectly complements the flavor composition of the dish. Enjoy your meal!

Defrost salmon steak, remove bones, scales and skin. Salt the fish and pepper with black or white pepper. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the steak from 2 sides until golden brown - (strongly depends on the thickness of the piece). If you fry salmon with the skin on, then you don’t need to fry on this side so that it doesn’t stick to the pan. After frying, leave the fish for a few minutes so that the heat penetrates the center.

About salmon for frying
Salmon is supplied to Russia mainly in the form of frozen steaks. At the same time, the pieces cut across the carcass are considered the most delicious.

How to choose the right salmon

In stores, this royal fish is usually sold chilled or frozen. Both in the first and in the second case, one cannot do without a thorough examination of the salmon.

• Fillet of fresh salmon of pale orange tone.
• Try the fish to the touch, slightly pressing on the carcass with your finger. The fresh product does not have notches, and the carcass takes its original shape.
• Be sure to sniff the salmon. fresh product practically odorless.
• Look into the eyes of a salmon. They must be clean, without any films. If suddenly during the inspection you find a film, I do not advise you to buy such a fish. Maybe even she is your age 🙂

And if you buy salmon in pieces, make sure that the bones do not lag behind the fillets. Because this is a clear sign that the fish has long been stale.

But that's not all. According to the standards in force in our country, a fish in ice should be stored for about two weeks. Therefore, ask the seller for the delivery time of the goods. In general, if all the signs of the freshness of the fish are on your face, feel free to buy it.

How to cook salmon steak in a pan

If you have never tried to cook red fish steaks in a pan before, do not worry. This, as practice shows, is quite simple. Even a novice cook who has just started mastering elementary recipes in the kitchen will cope with such a culinary task at “5+”.

1. So, if you decide to fry a salmon steak in a pan, then the first step is to conveniently place everything on the table necessary products so that later you don’t have to fuss in search of this or that ingredient. After the preparatory activities, you should immediately start fishing. Pieces of salmon should be transferred to a spacious and convenient container. Right in it, the product must be sprinkled abundantly with the juice that was just squeezed out of the lemon.

The next step in the preparation of red fish according to the proposed recipe is the use of spices. The steaks need to be salted. Then they are sprinkled with selected seasonings. An excellent solution that will favorably emphasize the natural and natural taste of delicacy is a combination of coriander, saffron and paprika. If for one reason or another you do not use any of these spices, then you can flavor the fish with only what you like.

On a note! Having decided to sprinkle salmon with spices, it is very important not to cross the line between piquancy and excessiveness. If you overdo it with seasonings, they will simply kill the taste of the fish. By the way, if you are not at all a connoisseur of oriental motives when cooking, then you can safely refuse spices and use only salt and lemon juice. It's always delicious!

Then you need to pour a little fish blanks with olive oil. To make the red fish really tasty, tender and juicy, it is recommended to generously coat the pieces with it on each side. Leave the fish for a few minutes. This will allow her to pickle a little. It will be enough to withstand the delicacy in this form for literally 10 minutes.

The next step in preparing a salmon steak according to this recipe is the frying process itself. It is recommended to use a heavy-bottomed pan for this. She is placed on the stove. Olive oil is poured into it. The container will need to be heated, and only on the hot surface of the pan you need to lay out the pieces of red fish that we managed to pre-prepare. Maintaining powerful heating, the workpieces should be fried for literally 2 minutes. This will allow a brown crust to form on one side of the steak.

The fish will need to be turned over quickly. It is best to use not a spatula for this, as many hostesses are used to, but special culinary tongs. That will be much more convenient.

Note! Oil usually sizzles a lot, so be very careful.

When the steak is browned, the fire should be reduced. The pan is closed with a lid. You need to fry the fish for another 5 minutes, no more. The attraction of this method of frying is that the juice is stored inside the product under the crispy crust.
