Fish
Steak
Salmon steak is a cross-cut portion through the body, often bone-in, built for grilling or pan-searing. The bone helps the piece hold shape and bastes the pink flesh as fat melts toward the centre. Oil or baste so edges do not dry before the centre is done. Classic with dill butter, teriyaki glaze, or nothing but salt and fire.
