Microwave Salmon Recipe
What You’ll Need - Ingredients
-
10oz (wild) salmon filets (I prefer center-cut for their meaty texture)
Use center-cut since it is the meatiest and less likely to dry out
- 2 teaspoons low sodium teriyaki sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin
oyster sauce- get low sodium if possible
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- sesame seeds
Microwave Salmon Recipe: Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1
First things first, pat those salmon filets dry with a paper towel. Then, pop them into a microwave-safe bowl.
Step 2
Time to get saucy! Rub those filets with some low sodium teriyaki sauce and hoisin sauce, making sure to coat them well in all that yummy marinade.
Step 3
Cover the bowl loosely with some microwave-safe plastic wrap or a microwave cover to avoid any messy spills.
Step 4
Let the salmon hang out in the fridge and marinate for at least 20 minutes. If you’ve got the time, overnight is even better for max flavor.
Step 5
Now comes the cooking part. Microwave the salmon for about 1 – 3 minutes, but keep a close eye on it. Salmon cooks up fast in the microwave, so don’t wander off and risk overcooking it!
Step 6
Once it’s done, take it out and let it rest for a minute. This gives the juices a chance to settle and the flavors to mingle.
Step 7
Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top for that extra nutty goodness and a pretty finishing touch.
Step 8
Serve up your perfectly cooked Microwave Teriyaki Salmon and get ready to dig in!
