Add salmon steak, skin-down to hot pan and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Season top of steak with zests, parsely, garlic, and salt and ground pepper. Flip steak in pan and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Remove skin from bottom of steak and discard. Add white wine to pan and swirl to coat.
