How Do You Cook Salmon In The Microwave?
While novice chefs often seem to consider cooking seafood a tricky or difficult undertaking, it does not have to be. With a versatile fish like salmon, a tasty marinade and a trusty microwave, a delicious meal is quick and easy. Choose a salmon filet. For the best flavor, pick a fresh filet with a vibrant pink-orange color that appears firm. Discoloration around the edges of the filet can indicate a filet that is old or has been stored incorrectly. Frozen filets, while just as easy to cook as fresh, often have a strong fishy taste. Marinade the fish. Italian dressing or pre-bottled teriyaki marinade pair nicely with salmon because of their sweetness. Submerge the filet in the marinade for several hours, at least, before you cook the salmon in the microwave. Remove your fish from the marinade and place it with the skin side up in a microwave-safe glass baking dish. Be sure to spray the dish with non-stick cooking spray, and pour the remaining marinade over the fish before cooking. Micro
