Suggestions please

I have been given some beautiful thick salmon steaks - can someone suggest a simple tasty way to cook these please?

Have they ever been frozen or are they super fresh.

Cheers

They are frozen - does that make a difference?

Great, yes it does with Salmon.

You can now eat this raw, if you wish (via a good marinade like raw beetroot) or have it so many different ways partially and fully cooked - that is dressed with variation of herbs and/or spices.

The general basic method is to lightly smear olive oil on all surfaces of salmon then cook each side about 3 minutes max over medium heat or under a grill. One can then add whatever you like for example a squeeze of lime or lemon, a nice herbal sprinkle mix, likewise a spice mix, a bed of fresh herbs with a dab of yoghurt and so on.

Just go with what suits your taste buds, they will tell you.

Cheers and all the best.

Salmon and orange juice are best buddies! Use it just like you would lemon juice/zest and add small slices (well trimmed to get rid of any pith etc) as a garnish. I discovered this when I had no fresh lemons but a few oranges and haven't looked back since. Add a little oil - olive or similar and cook simply - oven bake for short time or pan fry. Don't forget to get rid of those pesky bones first - eyebrow tweezers do a good job and a soak in a little lemon juices sans 'operation' should rid them of any lingering fishy smell.

Enjoy!

This is an early recipe from Annabel Langbein & it's quick, simple & tasty.& my favourite way to eat salmon. It's Japanese style.
400g salmon fillet
1 egg white
1 tabs each of white & black sesame seeds
2 tbs oil
500g Udon noodles (or cooked spaghetti)
1/2 cup shredded Nori
2 spring onions
1 recipe Japanese dressing
Brush salmon with egg white & coat flesh side with a mixture of the seeds (doesn't matter if you don't have black seeds)
If you want to bake the fillets sear the seed side over high heat for 30 seconds & then 3 -4 minutes in a 200d C to just heat through. (I just pan fry it)
Prepare noodles & once cooked stir through a couple of tbs oil to prevent sticking. Mix through the shredded Nori, chopped spring onions & 3/4 of the Japanese dressing ( drizzle the remainder over the salmon to serve).

Japanese dressing
In a small jar mix together 3 tbsn.rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar, 3 tbs salad or canola oil, 2 tbs water, 1 tbs soy sauce, 1 tsp Sesame oil & give it a good shake & there you have it.

Thanks a million folks - I have only just logged in after a busy day and am thrilled with your responses. I have three of these steaks so since I live alone I can thaw them out one at a time and try different methods at different times. Didn't want to share them with my two spoilt moggies as they already have venison as a large part of their diets!
Thanks again - I really appreciate you taking the trouble to respond to my query.

This is glorious and soooooo easy and quick. Its just stunning.
