How to Prepare Baked Salmon in Foil in the Microwave
Place the two salmon steaks on a cutting board.
Remove any bones.
Also remove the central backbone, then roll the two steaks on themselves to form a circle. To secure the salmon steaks, use either string or, as I did, two steel skewers or wooden skewers.
In a bowl, prepare a dressing with orange juice, a few drops of lemon juice, and a tablespoon of soy sauce.
Also add salt and freshly ground pink peppercorns to the bowl and whisk vigorously with a fork.
Take two sheets of parchment paper, place a salmon steak on each.
Drizzle the two salmon steaks with the dressing, then also add chives and more whole pink peppercorns.
Close each foil packet, then cook, one at a time, in the microwave, at 800W for 8 minutes.
Serve the salmon piping hot.
How to Store Microwave Baked Salmon in Foil
