Salt Pepper Clean salmon and remove head, tail and fins. Cut the salmon into 1 lb steaks (not fillets). Place 1 salmon steak onto a sheet of foil, squeeze the juice of half a lemon, spread 1 tb of butter plus salt and pepper on the salmon. Wrap the salmon steak tightly in the foil (heavy duty) so as to make the best water tight seal as possible. Repeat for each steak. Boil the packages in water for 20 minutes. Remove and place in the freezer
