Among the better ways, toast it in the toaster oven. Not a pop-up slice toaster!

1. Turn on the kitchen vent, open a window, tun on the air purifier, whatever.

2. Put your salmon fillet skin-side-down on a piece of parchment or aluminum foil on the pan that fits in your toaster oven. No skin? Don't worry, it's fine.

Here's where you separate a tiny bit for the cat that gets cooked but not seasoned

3. Sprinkle the top with seasoned salt and dill. Oil is not necessary, salmon has plenty of its own fat. Lemon can wait until you're about to bite into it.

4. Hit TOAST. If you have to choose a number choose the middle one. Go make your salad.

5. When it beeps, see if it's perfect or needs another round, maybe on a smaller number. A spatula will lift the cooked fish off its skin onto your plate.

6. If you like salmon skin, put it in for another toast on its own, but this time watch it, because it's frying itself in there and could burn. If you don't like the skin, toss it out.

I'm not as concise as Mr. King, that's why he makes the big bucks.

Totally. For a healthy, quick, easy, tasty meal, this really gets high marks.

Is it one of the best ways to maximize salmon's flavor? No

Is it one of the best healthy, quick, easy, tasty meals? Yes

Microwave is great for cooking fish. I would swap the paper towels for a covered dish with chopped onions, herbs and some white wine.

I was waiting for someone to post this. Why anyone thought this was a good idea is beyond me.

You now have two things with this method:

1. Trace amounts of dishwasher chemicals in your fish

2. A dishwasher that smells like fish. A fishwasher if you will

I'm a bad cook. Why should I not do that?

Wrapping corn in a damp paper towel and throwing it in the microwave for five minutes is so much easier than boiling it in a big pot for 20 minutes.

Salmon near me is $8 per pound on a good sale (9-10 is more frequent), so a 6 ounce portion is $3ish. A lemon for 80 cents, a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, 2 portions of salmon, and an ounce of butter, and dinner is $10.

I would add rice, and then probably get a pound and a quarter of salmon to have some to make leftovers into onigiri, then it's lunch the next day too, but the cost goes up.

It's possible $10 is out of reach, or you live in a much more expensive area. Apologies if either of those applies to you, but this seems to be an approachable option.

American Catholics in 1960: "We eat fish every Friday during Lent to represent the poverty of our forefathers long ago. The ancient peoples who could subsist on nothing else pulled great bounties from the Mediterranean. It sustained civilization in that humble way for centuries and today we remember our simple origins."

American Catholics in 2020: "Fish for dinner? What are we, made out of money? Have a hamburger instead. No, I will not think for one single second about the sociological or ecological ramifications of this decision."

I've been: Lucky enough to get salmon from the FoodBank every other month or so. This just sounds like lazy writer cooking to me. Which I aspire to be.

If people can't afford salmon, they should probably get acquainted with the relatively inexpensive cost of glass bottles and gasoline.

The salmon will be fine, pretty much the same as steam-cooking it. Just put some spices and a lot of lemon so it would not be bland.

The microwave, on the other hand, will gain a subtle and mysterious fish aroma, that will only become stronger with the passage of time.

Cold smoked salmon > warm smoked salmon

Waste of a good microwave

for a second i thought that "garlic green beans" were a real thing and got excited.
