Notes
If you are planning to eat the skin, make sure the scales have been removed. You can ask your fish monger to do this, or you can do it by running the flat back edge of a knife in the opposite direction of the scales.Cooking Time: About 7 minutes for 4 ounce portions, 1.5 inches wide, 1.5 inches tall, was perfect for them to be just cooked through and flaky. If you want the fish more on the rare side, reduce cooking time. Also adjust time up or down depending on size of the salmon steaks, including thickness. You can check for doneness by gently prying into the thick section of the salmon to check for its color, like you would chicken.4 ounce portions might seem small but is a standard size for salmon. Salmon is a richer and heavier fish than others. You can increase the portion size as desired, just adjust your cooking time as needed.Want to make this in a standard oven?
