Pavé of salmon
If you prefer an Americanized version:
pike-perch pavé, salmon pavé, haddock-style coalfish filet
I don't know what the official translation of "pavé" is, if there ie one. I usually see the French word used (pavé of salmon/salmon pavé).
The slice is a thick one, across the filet, no bones.
A steak (darne) is a cross-section that incluedes the bone.

The names of the fish should be verified with the client.

1 hr confidence: additional comments
Explanation:
A pavé is not a steak, and the cutting technique is entirely different. A pavé is a (boned or boneless) cut along a filet just above the bones. It is somewhat like the shape of a brick.
A fish steak is a cross-section cut of the whole fish (somewhat horse-shoe shaped), and contains the bone.

6 hrs confidence: thick piece/slice of pike-perch, thick piece/slice of salmon, filet of coalfish, haddock style
Explanation:
Just another option. Again, I would avoid the word "steak" to avoid confusion with *darne*. The focus is on thickness and shape, to my knowledge there is no one word in English for *pavé*.
Here are some definitions from Larousse Gastronomique:
pavé (taking the *viande* definition): tranche très épaisse de boeuf, prélevée dans les morceaux les plus tendres, destinée à être grillée ou poêlée, et qui est servie en général pour une personne.
From the old American edition of the Larousse Gastronomiquie:
"a cold dish composed of some sort of a mixture (most frequently a mousse), set in a special square or rectangular mold, coated with jelly and decorated with
truffles, etc." and alternatively "certain square-shaped cakes made of Genoese (or sponge)
layers,sandwiched with a butter cream of sorts, as well as a kind of spice cake".
Larousse Gastronomique:
darne : tranche épaisse, taillée à cru, transversalement, dans un gros poisson (merlu, saumon, thon). Le dictionnaire de l'Académie des gastronomes oppose la « darne » à la « dalle », tranche mince ou escalope de poisson. Darnes et dalles se préparent pochées, braisées ou grillées; les dalles se font aussi sauter.
