Serving Sizes

Serving salmon steaks is easy. In almost all entrees, 1 steak per person is customary. And for fillets, about 1/3 to 1/2 pound per person is a good portion size.

Storing and Thawing

To thaw fresh-frozen salmon steaks, place them in refrigerator for a day. Because they are vacuum-sealed you can also run cold water over sealed fillets or steaks to speed up the thawing process. Quickly rinse salmon prior to preparing it. Left-over salmon should be refrigerated and used within a couple of days.
