This recipe marinates the rich salmon in lemon juice, soy sauce and herbs. Serve it with a sharply flavored potato salad (like this one, with red Bliss potatoes and watercress in a yogurt-horseradish dressing) and a large bowl of greens.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon steaks. Look for steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a nice, even color. Avoid steaks that are too thin or have any brown or gray spots.
- Marinate the salmon steaks before grilling. This will help to infuse them with flavor and keep them moist. There are many different marinade recipes to choose from, so experiment until you find one that you like.
- Grill the salmon steaks over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from overcooking and drying out. Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. You can check the doneness of the steaks by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fork comes out clean, the salmon is cooked.
- Serve the salmon steaks immediately. Grilled salmon is best served hot off the grill. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or pasta.
Conclusion:
Lemon-herb grilled salmon steaks are a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced griller, you are sure to enjoy this recipe.
