Salmon Microwave Cooked Recipes

SALMON (MICROWAVE-COOKED)

Steps:

• Marinate and/or baste salmon with 1/2 of your favorite marinade.
• Place fish, skin side down in a shallow microwave-safe dish; cover with plastic wrap.
• Cook, on high, for 7-8 minutes.
• Remove dish, uncover and baste with the rest of marinade.
• Recover and cook on medium for 6-7 minutes.
• Salmon will come out tender and flaky.

POACHED SALMON IN THE MICROWAVE

Steps:

• Combine butter, wine, lemon juice, dill, sugar, salt, and black pepper together in a microwave-safe casserole dish; place cover on dish.
• Microwave butter mixture until butter is melted, 45 to 60 seconds. Add salmon, skin-side up, to butter mixture and place cover on dish. Microwave until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 6 minutes.

MICROWAVE SALMON FILLETS

Steps:

• Thaw filet in refrigerator for several hours, or immerse package in cold water for 30 minutes.
• Place filet in small microwave casserole dish.
• Sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning.
• Top with butter or margarine.
• Cover casserole and place in microwave.
• Cook on High for 3- 4 minutes.
• Repeat for remaining filets.

MICROWAVE TERIYAKI SALMON

Steps:

• Place salmon skin side down (if using fillets) in shallow microwave-safe dish, glass or plastic.
• Combine the rest of the ingredients, except scallions, and pour over fish.
• Cover with plastic wrap and marinate at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
• The longer it marinates, the more pronounced the flavor.
• Turn fish once or twice while marinating, leaving it skin side up on the last turn (if using fillets).
• Making sure the plastic wrap seal is tight, microwave on high for 7 minutes.
• Let it stand in the microwave for an additional 3 minutes, covered, while you plate the spinach or other veggies.
• Check one fillet to ensure it is cooked to your liking (All microwaves cook a little differently; I rather like medium rare salmon if it turns out that way, but others may not-- if too rare, just pop it back in the microwave, sealed, and zap it for a minute or so).
• Plate the salmon and sprinkle with the scallions.
