Plain old salmon filets are good, but can get boring quick. I changed it up these week when I saw these beautiful salmon steaks on sale at Kroger. The meat is so rich and decadent, you really don’t need to dress it up with much seasoning. I opted for a simple spice rub with a bit of fresh Parmesan. Cuz I need my cheese fix wherever (and whenever) I can get it.
The show stopper ingredient though, folks, ain’t the cheese. It’s Maldon Sea Salt Flakes. OMG.
This stuff is like sprinkling a little bit of Heaven on anything you put it on. I found it at the Buford Farmer’s Market and I’m hooked. I use it on eggs, steak, seafood, you name it. It makes everything tastier. I keep a little dish on my counter with easy access. Yesterday, I caught JP dipping a spoon of Nutella in it. Um, yeah.
It truly brings out the flavor of whatever you’re seasoning. Those little crystals of yum made the salmon sing! DELISH! Do note that salmon steaks have those teeny tiny bones throughout the filets, so be careful while eating!
