Equipment

  • Grill or stovetop grill pan
  • Spatula
  • Tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon steaks 10 ounces each, pin bones removed
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup fruit salsa see recipe or use pre-made

Instructions
 

  • Heat up a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat both sides of the salmon steaks with oil, ensuring even coverage, and season them with kosher salt and ground black pepper.
  • Take a small piece of paper towel, dip it lightly in oil, and carefully rub it over the grill grates to make them non-stick.
  • Lay the salmon steaks on the hot grill. Cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes on each side, depending on their thickness. When flipping, use a spatula to lift the steaks from underneath to avoid breaking the fish apart. Avoid using tongs on the sides to keep the steaks intact.
  • Once cooked through and lightly charred, transfer the salmon steaks to a serving plate. Spoon a generous portion of fruit salsa over each steak, and serve immediately.

Notes

Storage: Keep leftover salmon and fruit salsa in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for 3–4 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Thaw salmon in the refrigerator overnight. Warm it in a 275°F oven for 10–15 minutes, or microwave in short intervals until heated through. Top with salsa before serving.
Helpful Tip: Flake leftover salmon and mix it with any remaining fruit salsa. Add diced avocado and serve over a bed of greens for a quick, healthy salad.
