How to Cut Salmon Steaks
Preliminaries: Use a dressed salmon, remove head.

Place fish on large, flat, clean surface. Make cuts crosswise (perpendicular to backbone) to make steaks of desired size, with thickness from 3/4 to 2 inches. Continue down the fish using a rubber mallet to assist in cutting through the bone if necessary.

Any part of the fish not steaked can be cooked whole, or filleted.
