You know those meals that, when you make them once, you want to make them again and again for ever and ever? These salmon steaks were like that for us.
Cooking salmon can be a touch tricky as it has a tendency to dry out and become rubbery if you overcook it. But … I've got the trick for cooking perfect salmon every time and, I'm going to share it with you.
OUR LATEST VIDEOS To prevent salmon from drying out, you want to cook it at a low temp in the oven. I cook these at 225 degrees Fahrenheit over 20 minutes.
Low and slow is the way to go.
By cooking the salmon slowly you get perfectly tender and melt in your mouth fish. Try this method just once and you'll be hooked. It's the only method I use for baking fish.
Do watch out for bones when you eat your steaks. There does tend to be quite a few of them. If you're serving this to kids you might want to make salmon fillets for them. You can cook them exactly the same.

Celsius and Fahrenheit two different things I think.
Yes, they are! I’ve updated the recipe now to indicate the temperature is in Fahrenheit. My apologies if that caused some confusion!
