Microwave Orange Soy Salmon Parcels Recipes

ORANGE SOY-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Mix orange juice, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and ginger together in a small bowl.
• Place salmon in a shallow dish. Pour all but 3 tablespoons of the orange juice mixture on top. Reserve remaining mixture in the bowl. Let salmon marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Transfer salmon to a baking dish lined with aluminum foil; pat dry with paper towels. Discard marinade. Spoon 1 tablespoon of reserved orange juice mixture over salmon; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 6 minutes. Spoon remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice mixture over salmon. Continue baking until flesh flakes easily with a fork, 6 to 9 minutes more. Serve with lemon wedges.

MICROWAVE TERIYAKI SALMON

Steps:

• Place salmon skin side down (if using fillets) in shallow microwave-safe dish, glass or plastic.
• Combine the rest of the ingredients, except scallions, and pour over fish.
• Cover with plastic wrap and marinate at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
• The longer it marinates, the more pronounced the flavor.
• Turn fish once or twice while marinating, leaving it skin side up on the last turn (if using fillets).
• Making sure the plastic wrap seal is tight, microwave on high for 7 minutes.
• Let it stand in the microwave for an additional 3 minutes, covered, while you plate the spinach or other veggies.
• Check one fillet to ensure it is cooked to your liking (All microwaves cook a little differently; I rather like medium rare salmon if it turns out that way, but others may not-- if too rare, just pop it back in the microwave, sealed, and zap it for a minute or so).
• Plate the salmon and sprinkle with the scallions.
