Microwave salmon
Turns out you can cook fish in the microwave. Simply place your salmon fillet skin-side down in a microwave-safe dish. Season with salt and pepper. Slather with the savory sauce of your choice or top with lemon zest and sprinkle with brown sugar for a sweet touch. Cover the dish with plastic wrap (also microwave-safe) so that no air can escape, and cook for 3 1/2 minutes on high. Test for doneness by flaking the fish with a fork and making sure the center is opaque and cooked through. If not done, cook for another 30 to 45 seconds. While the fish is cooking, saute fresh spinach in a buttered skillet for about 3 minutes until wilted. Serve the fish on the bed of spinach, and garnish with a lemon wedge.
