Choosing fish for steak

You should not make mistakes when cooking salmon steak on a grill pan. The dish should be juicy and tasty. To cook a steak, use high-fat fish varieties. Today we will prepare a salmon dish, but you can also use trout, catfish, salmon, and tuna. The resulting dish is the size of a human palm. Ready-made steaks are tasty, but to preserve their quality, they are sold through the freezing process, so there is a risk of purchasing a low-quality product. To prepare an excellent dish you need fresh fish, but for the everyday menu you can also use frozen fish. There should be no stains or streaks on the steak; fresh soft tissue should bend elastically when pressed.

The head is separated on the cutting material, the fish is cut into pieces in the form of portioned pieces with a thickness of 1.5 to 2.5 cm. The abdomen is not cut, because the muscles contain a large amount of healthy fat. Without cutting the abdominal part, the contents of the fish are removed from the carcass. When cut into pieces, the contents are removed.

Cooking method

Let's look at how to cook salmon steak in a frying pan according to this recipe.

Wash the salmon thoroughly and dry it with napkins until the water completely disappears. It is very important that no droplets of moisture remain on the fish, otherwise the oil will not be able to be completely absorbed into the steaks, and its juiciness will decrease to almost zero. If you use frozen salmon, you need to defrost it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.
Rub the fish on all sides with olive oil, add all the spices that will make our dish aromatic. This could be black pepper, rosemary or other seasonings. If desired, you can use Italian herbs. Don't forget to salt the fish and sprinkle it with lemon juice. After this, we leave the salmon to marinate a little in its own juice.
Now place the salmon on the prepared and heated grill pan. Turn over periodically so that the steak does not burn, but cooks evenly. Brown stripes will indicate that the fish is completely ready. Transfer the steaks to a plate, sprinkle with lemon again and sprinkle with fragrant herbs.

What types of grill pans are there?

Today there are quite a lot of materials from which frying pans are made, let's look at the most common ones.

Die-cast aluminum

This is the most affordable and common material from which kitchen utensils are made. Cast aluminum heats up quickly, is lightweight and wear-resistant.

For frying in an aluminum frying pan, it is best to use wooden spatulas or special ones made for Teflon. Also, it should not be exposed to sudden changes in temperature (for example, immediately put on fire from the refrigerator) and it often begins to stick over time.

Cast iron grill pan

One of the best materials for grill cookware. Cast iron is heavy, strong, durable, inexpensive. It heats up well and cooks meat perfectly. If the cast iron is of high quality and finely porous, then it practically does not stick. It is enough to coat it with oil and heat it once every few months so that there are no problems with adhesion.

But if you come across a frying pan made of poor cast iron with wide pores, you will have to suffer, every now and then peeling off the stuck food from the bottom.

Teflon coated

Modern non-stick material is very comfortable to use. Food does not stick to Teflon and cooking on it is a pleasure! Only the coating does not tolerate high temperatures (above 200 degrees) and becomes thinner over time. The average service life of such dishes is 3-4 years.

Made of ceramics

Eco-friendly coating that does not contain any chemicals. Ceramics do not stick, are easy to clean and, in general, very easy to handle. But, like Teflon, it does not tolerate high temperatures and also lasts for a maximum of 3 years.

In addition, upon impact, it can split and form cracks.
