Classic Salmon Steaks
Two salmon steaks, totalling roughly 1 pound.
2 Tbsp Butter (or margarine).
1 Tbsp Lemon juice.
1/2 tsp pepper (or to taste).
2 tsp fresh or dried chopped parsley (or to taste).
dash of garlic powder.
Melt the butter, combine all of the non-salmon ingredients except the parsley. Place the salmon steaks in a microwave-safe cooking dish. Pour the sauce over the salmon, then sprinkle with parsley.
Total microwave cooking time is 10-13 minutes per pound of salmon at 50% power (700W+ microwave oven).
Microwave at 50% power for half of cooking time. Turn the steaks over, baste, microwave at 50% power for remainder of cooking time.
Don’t overcook fish. It is done when it loses its translucency and becomes flaky.
