Speedy Microwave Salmon 🐟

Craving a healthy dose of omega-3s but don’t have time to fire up the oven? This microwave salmon recipe is the answer to your prayers! Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

• 1 salmon fillet (about 6 ounces)
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon fillet in a microwave-safe dish and drizzle it with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Cover and microwave: Cover the dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
3. Let it rest: Carefully remove the dish from the microwave and let the salmon rest for a minute before serving. This allows the fish to finish cooking and allows the flavors to meld together.
4. Serve: Plate up your perfectly cooked microwave salmon and enjoy it with your favorite side dishes. It’s that easy!

Suggestions for Variations:

• Seasoning swaps: Experiment with different seasonings like dill, thyme, or smoked paprika to give your microwave salmon a unique flavor profile.
• Glaze it up: Brush the salmon with a glaze made from soy sauce, honey, and ginger for a sweet and savory twist.
• Get creative with sides: Serve your microwave salmon alongside steamed veggies, quinoa, or a fresh green salad for a well-rounded meal.
