Salmon steaks are thick cuts of fish taken from the side of a salmon, a popular type of fish known for its rich flavor and high nutritional value. These steaks typically include the skin and are often cut from the center of the fish, making them ideal for grilling, baking, or pan-searing. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, salmon steaks are not only delicious but also beneficial for heart health. They can be seasoned in various ways, allowing for a range of flavors, and are commonly served with sides like vegetables or grains for a balanced meal.
