How To Cook Salmon Steak

Salmon Steak v. Salmon Fillet

A fish steak is cut crosswise (perpendicular to the spine), cutting through the bone, whereas a fillet is cut lengthwise parallel to the bone.

Can you buy boneless salmon steaks?

Depending on your fishmonger, yes. But as a general rule, salmon steaks have more (and larger) bones than fillets.

How do you cook salmon steaks?

You can pan fry, bake, or grill salmon steaks. We love pan-frying them in a skillet because they take only 10 minutes to cook.
