Microwave Salmon Fillets

This was so easy to prepare, and I loved the lemon pepper on the fillets. I tried finding frozen salmon steaks but could only find thin salmon fillets in the frozen food aisle. Because they were so thin though, I went with 3 minutes, and it was more than enough to cook the fillets but they were just a bit dry. I think I'll look longer next time and wait until I can find the frozen steaks rather than the thin fillets. But they were pretty tasty for how quick this was to make.

I followed the recipe as written. The only difference was that the salmon portion was somewhat narrower and longer than the one described. I nuked it on high for 3 minutes as written and discovered that the salmon was dreadfully overcooked with the thin end completely dried out. I have no reason to think my microwave in unusually powerful. If I try this again, I will either cook it on a lower power setting or start checking it after half as long (probably both). I recommend great caution with the cooking time and power setting.

A heart healthy dinner in only minutes. This was reduced to 2 servings and Smart Balance margarine used. The salmon was perfect in 3 minutes. Served with recipe #133066. Made for Diabetic Forum *Heart Healthy Tag*

This turned out spectacularly! Sometimes I do a mix of melted butter, chopped cilantro, worsteschire (sp) sauce, onion powder and garlic powder poured over top before cooking. It is even hotter than doing in the oven!

I always cook my salmon this way, but I put them in ziplock bags and poke holes thoughout. I can usually cook about 3 in one bag for about the same amount of time, depending on the thickness. Awesome way to cook salmon.
