Salmon (Microwave-Cooked)
.jpg)
"I am a true seafood/fish lover and this is my favorite way of having my salmon prepared, even over grilling. It's delicious and also a great "busy night" dinner to prepare on little time. Always comes out tender and flaky the way it should be, not dried out. I've made this many times and it's never failed me. This was passed onto me by my best friend, Steph."

My first cooking success of the year 2009! I used a marinade of butter, lemon juice, dried dill weed and brown sugar - it was just incredible. However, the salmon filets, totalling 1lb, was well cooked within 6 minutes on high, so I didn't quite get to step 5. My wattage must be higher than the recipe's author's. -
Quick easy delicious!!! What more could you want. Served topped with wasabi cream sauce with cracked pepper and dill. Made for the August Seafood Challenge in photos forum--thank you TheDancingCook for posting, I will be making this often! :) Becky -
Using Save-A-Lot 2x3 inch frozen filets, it took about a minute each side-- I was using it in a salad so I didn't do the marinade however, hence the lack of stars. Might try it for my last fillet though. -
Made this this week after work. WOW E-Z-E! Used Ken's Honey Teriyaki Marinade for about 15 minutes. Strayed from the recipe a little, oven baked at 400* for 12 mins. total. YUM! The marinade caramelized on salmon for a crusty top. Next time, I may sprinkle with chopped pecans. YUM, again! THX!!

Welcome! I joined this website in 2001, as a new wife and Mom of a 1 y/o and I was 28 yrs old and did not know about cooking. I found this website cause I searched the web and wanted to find a good recipe for carrots! I found that recipe and so much more here over the years. I learned so much from this website and opened up my eyes to other recipes. I now am 46 y/o. I am now divorced and my then 1 y/o son is now a Marine. I have a wonderful man in my life that loves and appreciates my cooking and I thank this site for all of its help. I still come here for recipes. I hope you like my recipes and your family enjoys them also....there is many here and I love to pass them on.
