July 16, 2010, Newsletter Issue #165: Microwaving Salmon

Tip of the Week

Yes, salmon can definitely be cooked in the microwave. For a very simple recipe, place your salmon fillets or steaks in a microwave-safe dish. They should be about 1/2 inch thick and in a single layer.

Season with salt, lemon juice (about a tablespoon to divide between your steaks), olive oil (again about a tablespoon), and a little bit of crushed garlic if you like it on your salmon.

Cover the salmon and microwave until the edges flake easily. Depending on the power of your microwave, this will take between 5 and 7 minutes on the high setting.

After removing the salmon from the microwave, let it "rest" for a few minutes before serving.
