It's yummy for post workout "snacks' too...

I love the quick and easy foods!

 

[Babyfaced Assassin]

sounds like something you can make, portion in little boxes and freeze for later

BabyFace: I'm pretty sure the 'maters and avacados would get tooooooo mushy if you frooze them!

You could freeze the pre-made salmon though!!

You can cook fish in the microwave???? Never knew that......guess the worst case is that it's sushi.....lol....good post!

Jkurz1 - Of course you can cook fish in the nuker! Thin salmon filets are prolly one the the easiest to nuke!

Water will keep it moist too!

If you want to bake it in the oven place fish in a brown paper bag. WET the paper bag WELL with water, throw some herbs and spices in it- Viola!

 

[JKurz1]

ingenious! thnx bra...........how long you nuke?

 

[vixenbabe]

Bra? I guess that works better than bro since I'm a chick!

The above recipe is for 7-9 minute in the microwave!

If you are talking about fish in general in the mircowave..It will depend on the thickness of the filet. I'd set nuker on HIGH and test it every 1 -2 minutes. The worst thing you can do is dry the stuff out!

Now..IF you are talking about the oven WET PAPER bag method..I cook fish filets at 350 degrees- 20 minutes. Once again, depending on how thick the filets are! Once they "flake" they are cooked! Better to check on them often than dry 'em out!
