Ingredients

4 Fresh Salmon Fillets
Garlic Butter (Homemade or Shop bought)
1 Lemon Sliced

Instructions

Place the 4 Fresh Salmon Fillets on a microwave-safe plate, skin side down. Make sure it's at room temperature for even cooking.
4 Fresh Salmon Fillets
Generously spread Garlic Butter all over the salmon, coating it on both sides. Let the flavours of buttery goodness envelop the fish.
Garlic Butter
Top the salmon with a few slices of fresh Lemon. The zesty aroma will bring a burst of brightness to the dish.
1 Lemon
Cover the plate with a microwave-safe lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape. This will help the salmon cook evenly and retain its moisture.
Microwave on high for about 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillet and the wattage of your microwave.
Carefully remove the plate from the microwave (it'll be hot!) and let it rest for a minute to allow the flavours to meld together.
Serve the mouthwatering Microwave Garlic Butter Salmon with your favourite side dishes, like steamed vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh salad.

Notes

Pro Tip: For an extra kick of flavour, sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or chives over the salmon before microwaving.
