Instructions:
-
Preparation: Begin by gathering your ingredients. Remember, simplicity is key here!
-
Layering: Take a small microwaveable dish and arrange the sliced spring onions (scallions) at the bottom. If you like, add some grated carrot for extra flavor and color.
-
Salmon Placement: Now, carefully place the salmon fillet on top of the bed of spring onions and carrots. Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper, and sprinkle your favorite herbs over the top. Tarragon or dill are excellent choices for enhancing the flavor of the fish.
-
Tomato Topping: Next, thinly slice the tomatoes and layer them on top of the seasoned salmon. This adds a burst of freshness and juiciness to the dish.
-
Covering: Cover the dish securely with cling film, ensuring it’s tightly sealed to lock in all the flavors and moisture.
-
Microwaving: Before microwaving, make a couple of small holes in the cling film to allow steam to escape during cooking. Then, place the dish in the microwave and cook on 75% power for 2 minutes.
-
Resting Period: After the initial cooking, allow the dish to rest for 1 minute. This helps to distribute the heat evenly throughout the salmon.
-
Final Cooking: Return the dish to the microwave for another 2 minutes at 75% power. This ensures that the salmon is perfectly cooked through without being overdone.
-
Enjoyment: Once cooked, carefully remove the dish from the microwave. The aroma of the herbs and salmon will tantalize your senses.
-
Serve and Feedback: Transfer the salmon onto a plate, and take a moment to appreciate the simplicity and deliciousness of this dish. Then, dig in and savor every bite. Don’t forget to let me know what you think – your feedback is always appreciated!
