Tips for Microwaving Steamed Salmon:

  • Select fresh or frozen salmon fillets of uniform thickness for even cooking.
  • Pat the salmon dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or melted butter for extra flavor.
  • Place the salmon fillets on a microwave-safe plate or dish. Leave some space between the fillets so the steam can circulate.
  • Cover the plate with plastic wrap, ensuring it is tightly sealed to trap the steam.
  • Microwave the salmon on high power for 2-3 minutes per 100 grams (3.5 ounces).
  • Check the salmon for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the salmon flakes easily and is opaque throughout, it is cooked.
  • Let the salmon rest for a minute or two before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
