Dishwasher Salmon
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
Piquant Dill Sauce, recipe follows
2 tablespoons butter
2 leeks, white part only, finely chopped, then thoroughly washed
1 jalapeno chile, seeds and membranes removed, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup vegetable or chicken stock
1 1/2 cups lightly packed fresh dill, stems removed before measuring
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup sour cream

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.

CRAZY GOOD DISHWASHER SALMON

I use the heated water wash (not pots and pans) and heated dry cycle, but I'll bet the water miser settting (as long as it is heated water) will work too. Try your regular wash cycle first and adjust up or down from there.

Categories     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 to 2 lbs. salmon
1 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup mayonnaise
juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • 1. Brush the salmon with the oil. Sprinkle with the dill. Wrap two layers of foil around the salmon. Seal and fold the ends over 3 or 4 times.
  • 2. Put the salmon in the upper dishwasher rack. Turn to the normal cycle, which should run for about 80 minutes. Cook til a meat thermometer registers at least 160 degrees. Mix the mayonnaise and lemon juice in a small bowl.Serve the salmon hot or at groom temperature with the lemon sauce.
  • 3. You may also substitute cod, trout or orange roughy steaks instead of salmon.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Select wild-caught salmon over farmed salmon for a more sustainable and flavorful option.
  • Properly thaw frozen salmon: If using frozen salmon, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes.
  • Season the salmon: Before cooking, season the salmon with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices.
  • Wrap the salmon in foil: Wrapping the salmon in foil helps to keep it moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Cook the salmon at the right temperature: Cook the salmon at a temperature of 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Let the salmon rest: After cooking, let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the fish.
