Crazy Good Dishwasher Salmon Recipes

DISHWASHER SALMON

Steps:

• Rinse and dry the zucchini and red pepper. Remove the seeds and stem from the red pepper. Dice the vegetables and add them to the bottom of 2 canning jars. Sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Prepare the fish by seasoning it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dill. Place it over the vegetables in the jar.
• Add 1 Tbsp. of butter to each jar, over the fish. Add any other desired seasonings.
• Seal the jars shut. If you are worried about the air-tightness of your lid, cover the sealed jar with a sheet of aluminum foil.
• Place the jars in the dishwasher and run a normal cycle.
• When the cycle has finished (or towards the end of the dry cycle), remove the jars from the dishwasher.
• Remove the aluminum foil, if used, and open the jars. You can eat the fish and vegetables directly from the jars or move them to a plate. Enjoy!

FIRECRACKER SALMON

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, minced ginger, olive oil, soy sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar, red chili flakes and sriracha to combine.
• Season salmon with salt, pepper and paprika. Add salmon fillets to the marinade, turning each to evenly coat in the sauce.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight (if time allows).
• Preheat oven to 370°F (190°C). Heat an oven proof skillet over medium heat with a small drizzle of oil.
• Sear salmon for 2-3 minutes on both sides, undisturbed, to get nice crust. (You may need to sear in batches depending on the size of your skillet.)Transfer to plate and repeat with remaining salmon.
• Return all salmon fillets to the skillet. Alternatively, transfer to baking dish.Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.Serve warm with chopped chives.

DISHWASHER SALMON WITH A PIQUANT DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut 2 (12-inch) square sheets of aluminum foil. Place 2 fillets side by side on each square and fold up the outer edges. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over each fillet. Season with salt and pepper.
• Fold and pinch the aluminum foil extra tightly to create a watertight seal around each pair of fillets. Make sure the packet is airtight by pressing down on it gently with your hand. If air escapes easily, rewrap.
• Place foil packets on the top rack of the dishwasher. Run dishwasher for the entire "normal" cycle. When cycle is complete, take out salmon, discard foil, place 1 fillet on each plate, and spoon a generous serving of dill sauce overtop.
• Don't have a dishwasher? Bake foil-wrapped packets in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 12 minutes.
• The Instruction Manual: 1. Seal individual-size fillets in aluminum foil. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COOK A WHOLE FISH. 2. Place fish packets on the top rack. 3. Add dirty dishes and lemon-scented soap. This optional step is not recommended for novices. However, as long as the salmon is tightly sealed in the aluminum foil, it will not absorb any soapy taste or smell. 4. Set the dishwasher to the "normal" cycle. Modern dishwashers have "economy" and "cool dry" settings, which are undesirable because they conserve heat. However, on the other end of the spectrum, the "pots and pans" setting tends to overcook the fish. 5. Run salmon through the entire wash-and-dry cycle: approximately 50 minutes for most models. I have poached salmon in almost every make and model, and although the temperatures and duration of the cycles vary with each machine, a little more or less "washing" will not affect it greatly because salmon is extremely forgiving. 6. To heighten the drama for your disbelieving guests, and to prove that you have nothing up your sleeve, let them crowd around the dishwasher when you load the salmon. When the cycle is complete, invite them back to witness the unloading. 7. Troubleshoot. The only time I ever had a problem was on live national TV. Five minutes before going on the air I learned that the heating element in the on-camera dishwasher was broken. After a quick huddle with the producer, I was forced to make the most of the situation by baking the salmon in the (gasp!) oven. To avoid this pedestrian fate, ask yourself the million-dollar question: When your dishwasher last completed its cycle, were the dishes hot? As long as the answer is yes, you are ready to poach.
• Melt the butter over medium heat in a saute pan. Add the leek, jalapeno, and garlic and saute until the leeks are translucent but not brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add the stock. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. (Adjust heat as required to maintain simmer.) The liquid should reduce by half. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Transfer to a blender or food processor and add the dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Puree until smooth. Reserve and reheat just before serving. Stir in the sour cream at the last minute.

DISHWASHER SALMON

Steps:

• Place the whole salmon in the center of the foil, season with herbs inside and out.
• Place half the slices of butter inside of the fish and the other half on top of the fish.
• Do the same with the slices of lemon, arranging them in the cavity and on top of the fish.
• Fold the foil and roll the edges so that the entire fish is sealed.
• Turn on the dishwasher, normal or hot cycle and run your dishwasher as you normally would.
• (Please don't use any soap or anything else) By the time the washer is done with the drying cycle, the fish will be done and ready to serve.
• Simply unwrap the fish at the dinner table and serve with vegetables of your choice.

SPICY TERIYAKI SALMON RECIPE (OVEN OR ON THE GRILL)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º or grill to medium-high heat.
• Add coconut aminos, ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, black pepper, crushed red pepper, molasses, honey, and diced pineapple to a bowl and mix together with a fork or whisk. This makes up your spicy homemade teriyaki sauce.
• Place salmon in a single layer in a foil pan or baking dish, skin side down. If using a baking sheet or dish to cook, line it with aluminum foil.
• Pour sauce over the salmon. Save about 1/2 cup of sauce for after your salmon is cooked. If you have extra sauce, go ahead and put it in the fridge or freezer for next time.
• Grill or bake your salmon 15-18 minutes for frozen or 10-12 for thawed. This time will change based on how thick your salmon filets are. Cooked salmon is 145º and flakes easily with a fork.
• Remove salmon from the grill or oven. Serve with rice, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or your favorite veggie. Top with extra teriyaki sauce, sesame seeds, or chopped green onions. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
