Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Pat the salmon steaks dry with paper towels and brush both sides with olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper.
Place the salmon steaks on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the wasabi mayonnaise. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Taste the wasabi mayonnaise and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more wasabi for extra heat or lemon juice for more tanginess.
Serve the cooked salmon steaks on a plate and spoon the wasabi mayonnaise on top of each steak.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
