Directions

  1. 1. For relish, combine all the ingredients in a bowl, mix and set aside.
  2. 2. Using a pan large enough to hold salmon steaks, bring water to a boil and add lemon slices, parsley, onion and bay leaves.
  3. 3. Lower heat to a gentle simmer, cover and let flavors infused for 8 minutes. Add salmon steaks and make sure they are covered with water. Add water, if necessary.
  4. 4. Cook, uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish is just tender. It will flake easily when tested with a fork. Never let water boil.
