You can enjoy all the nutritional benefits of salmon with this recipe for salmon steaks. Salmon steaks are thicker than fillets and deliver richer, more intense flavor. The Italian marinade infuses the meat with the savory, aromatic herb flavors, while the paprika gives it a slight sweetness and pleasant color.
The marinade comes together quickly thanks to the convenience of prepared Italian seasoning. The fish only needs to marinate for an hour before you pop it into a preheated 375-degree oven. In less than 30 minutes, you’ll have moist, tender salmon ready to put on the table.
