Crispy salmon steaks are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Salmon is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for heart and brain health. It is also a good source of protein, vitamin D, and selenium. Salmon can be cooked in a variety of ways, but pan-frying is one of the best methods for achieving a crispy exterior and tender interior. This article will provide you with a step-by-step guide to making crispy salmon steaks, along with tips for choosing the best salmon and troubleshooting common problems.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven on the high broil setting.
- Lightly oil the bottom of a casserole dish and place the salmon fillet in it. Drizzle olive oil over the flesh of the salmon and use your hands to spread it over the full surface so that everything is coated. Sprinkle with sea salt.
- In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and coriander. Sprinkle this mixture liberally over the salmon (note: you may have leftover seasoning, and that's fine! You can use it for future salmon/chicken/steak endeavors or on vegetables).
- Place the salmon on the second-to-the-top shelf of the oven and broil for 10 minutes. (6 minutes for rare salmon, and up to 15 minutes for a very thick cut of salmon). Remove from the oven and allow salmon to cool 5 minutes before serving with your favorite side dishes.

CRISPY SKIN SALMON
Recipe video above. Cooking salmon so the skin is evenly crispy from end to end is simple if you follow two key tips: Firstly, ensuring the skin is dry. Secondly, using enough oil to cover the base of the skillet so the skin fries properly and goes golden and crispy rather than just burning in patches. Easy!Pictured with a creamy Lemon & Herb Risotto (ultra easy hands-free baked method!).

Steps:
- Dry skin: Pat the skin of the salmon very well with a paper towel until dry. If time permits, place the salmon skin side up in the fridge for 1 hour (uncovered,) to dry it out even more.
- Season: Drizzle flesh side with half the oil (just a tiny bit) and rub over skin. Sprinkle with half the salt and pepper. Turn fillet over and repeat. Do not do this step until just before cooking.
- Heat oil: Put enough oil in a large non stick skillet so it fully covers the base. Heat on medium high until it shimmers (but not smoking).
- Skin side down: Place salmon in the skillet skin side down, then immediately turn the head down to medium.
- Press down: Using a spatula or something similar, press down on each salmon for 10 seconds so the skin is pushed flat against the skillet and "sets" its form. If you can do at least two at a time that is ideal.
- Cook 7 minutes: Cook for 7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked 3/4 of the way through (you will see the colour changing up the side of the salmon) and the skin is crispy.
- 90 sec on flesh side: Flip the salmon to skin side is up and cook for a further 90 seconds.
- Final skin blast! (My secret tip) Flip the salmon again to skin side down, turn the heat up to medium high and cook the skin side again for 60 seconds, just to give it a final blast of heat to reinforce crispiness!
- Serve skin side UP to protect the crispy skin. Fish skin will only stay crispy while it's hot, so serve immediately! Pictured in post with creamy Lemon & Herb Risotto which acts as a side dish and semi-sauce (super easy no-stir recipe!).

Steps:
- Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Place skin side up and rub 1 1/2 tablespoons softened butter all over the skin of the salmon. Transfer the salmon, buttered side up, to a sheet pan. Chill in the fridge to firm the butter, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- Place the salmon about 5 inches from the heat source and cook until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
- In a small saucepan over moderate heat, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard and tarragon leaves. Divide the sauce between 2 plates and place 1 piece of salmon on top of each pool of sauce.
- What Makes This Recipe Really Sing: This is the coolest way to get crispy skin on fish ever and the crispy skin is like a naturally salted and big flavored chip, so it's the best part!
GRILLED SALMON STEAKS
This is a terrific way to fix salmon...and it's so easy to do. The marinade mellows the fish flavor, and the dill sauce is a wonderful complement. I once served this recipe to 12 people from the Pacific Northwest who declared it was the best salmon they'd ever eaten! -Deb Essen, Victor, Montana

Steps:
- Rinse the salmon steaks and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow dish, combine the worcestershire sauce, mustard, tabasco, salt and pepper and stir with a fork to combine.
- Set the salmon steaks in the dish and turn so that they are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Let stand for 15 minutes.
- Set the oven rack 3 to 4 inches below the element and preheat the broiler.
- Line the broiler pan or baking sheet with a piece of foil and lightly oil the foil.
- Using tongs, take the salmon steaks from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and arrange them on the foil with at least an inch between them; reserve the marinade.
- Broil the salmon until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Take the pan from the oven, turn the steaks and spoon on some of the reserved marinade.
- Continue broiling until the salmon is just barely opaque through the thickest part (cut to test), 3 to 5 minutes longer.
- Transfer the salmon steaks to individual plates, sprinkle with the minced parsley and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon steaks: Look for steaks that are about 1-inch thick and have a good amount of fat marbling. This will help ensure that the steaks are cooked evenly and stay moist.
- Season the steaks well: Before cooking, season the salmon steaks with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Cook the steaks over medium-high heat: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the steaks while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
- Flip the steaks only once: Once the steaks are cooked about halfway through, flip them once. This will help to prevent the steaks from overcooking.
- Serve the steaks immediately: Once the steaks are cooked through, serve them immediately with your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Crispy salmon steaks are a delicious and healthy meal that can be easily prepared at home. By following these tips, you can cook salmon steaks that are perfectly crispy on the outside and moist and flaky on the inside. Enjoy!
