Pamper your family and friends with these crispy pan seared salmon steaks drizzled with a simple homemade leek vinaigrette.
A salmon steak is cut into cross sections from whole fish and includes the bone, whereas a fillet is cut lengthwise from tail to collar and boneless. It is usually bone in while a fillet is boneless. Since a whole steak is cooked on the flesh sides only, so the skin will not become crispy. You can replace with salmon fillets for the recipe.

Transfer the leeks to a pot of cold water to chill completely. Drain the leeks well and cut in half lengthways. Separate the layers to make leek ribbons.
