Salmon Steak with Creamy Sauce

Step by step method

• 

  Prepare the Salmon Steak

  Start by preparing the Salmon Steak. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut along the middle of the steak to remove any bones, ensuring only the fillet remains. Then, make an incision to create a pocket, but do not cut all the way through. This step is essential for keeping the steak tender and juicy during cooking. Tip: Make sure to use a very sharp knife to make a clean cut without tearing the flesh of the salmon.

• 

  Remove the Skin and Tie the Steak

  Next, gently peel off most of the skin from the salmon steak, but leave a small portion attached. This will help secure the steak when rolled. After loosening the skin, use it to wrap around the steak, and then tie it with kitchen twine to keep the shape intact during cooking. After removing the skin, use a piece of kitchen twine to tie the salmon steak around its circumference. This will help it hold its shape while cooking and maintain an appealing presentation. Tip: Tying the salmon with twine will ensure it stays together during cooking, giving it a beautiful, professional appearance.

• 

  Grill the Salmon

  Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon steak. Grill the Salmon Steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks form and the fish is almost cooked through. The salmon should be golden on the outside and still juicy inside. Tip: Avoid overcooking the salmon, as it can easily become dry. Keep an eye on it to ensure it stays tender.

• 

  Prepare the Creamy Sauce

  In a separate skillet, add 20 g of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and foaming, add finely minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn. Tip: Butter and garlic burn quickly, so keep stirring and make sure to keep the heat moderate.

• 

  Add the Cream

  Pour in the 100 ml of warm cream into the skillet with the garlic and butter. Stir well to combine and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Add a teaspoon of dried herbs, along with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly. Tip: Warm the cream before adding it to the skillet to prevent curdling and achieve a smooth consistency.

• 

  Serve the Salmon

  Place the grilled Salmon Steak on a serving plate. Pour the creamy garlic sauce over the steak, making sure to coat it generously. Finally, top the salmon with a spoonful of red caviar to add a touch of luxury and a burst of flavor. Tip: The red caviar adds not only a stunning visual but also a delightful, slightly salty flavor that pairs beautifully with the creamy sauce and tender salmon.
