Salmon steak in a pan
Description
Yes, here's a little tip not mentioned in the recipe: when pan-frying, as the second side of the steak is nearly done, reduce the heat to half and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook the fish under the lid for the last 3-5 minutes. During this time, you can prepare the vegetables, chop a salad for the side dish, or simply slice them nicely and arrange on a plate. Don't forget to use lemon juice in this dish—it will add a special flavor! And now, for your attention—a classic recipe for salmon steak cooked in a skillet. Good luck with your cooking! ;)

Carefully flip the fish over (the fish is delicate, so try not to break it apart while flipping). Fry for another 5 minutes. Pierce the fish in the center with a fork. If it flakes easily, the fish is done.
