Microwave Teriyaki Salmon
- Ready In:
- 37mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:

4
ingredients
- 4 salmon steaks (approx. 1 3/4 lb.) or 4 salmon fillets, 1/2 inch thick (approx. 1 3/4 lb.)
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce (can be reduced-sodium)
- 2 tablespoons marsala or 2 tablespoons sherry wine
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 cloves crushed garlic
- 2 -3 scallions, sliced thinly, to garnish (white and light green parts)
directions
- Place salmon skin side down (if using fillets) in shallow microwave-safe dish, glass or plastic.
- Combine the rest of the ingredients, except scallions, and pour over fish.
- Cover with plastic wrap and marinate at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
- The longer it marinates, the more pronounced the flavor.
- Turn fish once or twice while marinating, leaving it skin side up on the last turn (if using fillets).
- Making sure the plastic wrap seal is tight, microwave on high for 7 minutes.
- Let it stand in the microwave for an additional 3 minutes, covered, while you plate the spinach or other veggies.
- Check one fillet to ensure it is cooked to your liking (All microwaves cook a little differently; I rather like medium rare salmon if it turns out that way, but others may not-- if too rare, just pop it back in the microwave, sealed, and zap it for a minute or so).
- Plate the salmon and sprinkle with the scallions.

I am a married cruise-only travel agent with two stepsons, aged 20 and 25. It took a while to get the boys used to my cooking, as they were raised on fast food and pre-packaged foods (i.e. mac-n-cheese from the blue box, frozen dinners, Chef Boyardee, McDonalds, etc.). My mother is from Spain and I lived there as well as Germany, England and Italy growing up, which influenced both my career and my cuisine!</p>
