Microwave Salmon

Ingredients

  • 1 salmon fillet
  • a pinch salt
  • a pinch black pepper

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillet as dry as possible. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Refrigerate overnight.
  2. Place the salmon in a microwave-safe container — you MUST cover it with a lid! Do NOT skip the lid! Microwave on high for 3 minutes. If the fillet is smaller, start with 2.5 minutes and adjust based on doneness. My microwave high setting is 700W for reference.
  3. After the timer goes off, let it sit in the microwave for 1 minute before opening. Take it out and it is ready to enjoy! 🤩
