This is a fast and effective way to poach smaller cuts of salmon but the cooking time will be determined by the thickness and quantity of the fish - the more cuts you cook, the longer it will take…
1. In general one 225g/ half lb salmon steak will take two to three minutes to cook on full power. Two will take three to four minutes
2. Arrange steaks in a dish with the thickest parts at the edges
3. Steam salmon portions in the microwave by placing them in the centre of lightly moistened kitchen paper. Bring all the corners to the centre and twist closed before placing them on a microwave-safe plate
4. Remove the salmon when slightly underdone and pink in the middle. Then leave it to stand for 3-5 minutes, as it will continue cooking
