5 Minute (buffalo) Salmon

Before you start judging, yes, this is a recipe to make salmon in the microwave. I don't care what you say, It's delicious. And oh so easy. I have now used this method to do other types of Salmon (I'll share those later). The recipe comes from a cookbook my parents got me called "Eat What You Love Everyday." It's all about making your favorite meals a lot healthier. It has a ton of great stuff, but a lot of them are too difficult for me to make during the week. Obviously microwave salmon is not. I barely changed this recipe other than subbing a few ingredients, and adding a little salt. This recipe explains how to remove the skin easily, if your salmon is skinless, skip that step. We serve it with a side of easy brown minute race to make it the fastest and easiest weeknight meal ever, I barely even dirty any dishes! P.S. I highly recommend the cookbook too!


Microwave Buffalo Salmon

• 2 tablespoons nonfat Greek yogurt
• 4 tablespoons Frank's Red Hot Sauce (The regular or wing style are both good, wing style is a little bit thicker)
• 2 salmon filets
• 4 green onions sliced
• garlic salt and pepper

1. Mix together Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon of water and a little salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Place salmon on a microwave - safe plate (I use paper plates). Sprinkle the side without skin with a little garlic salt and pepper. Brush with half the hot sauce. Flip the sauce side down on the plate. Cover with plastic wrap tightly.
3. Microwave for 2 minutes.
4. Pull out of the microwave. Discard the plastic wrap. If your fish has skin - using a fork, it should pull off very easily. Scrape off the dark meat here too.
5. Sprinkle the side with the skin now removed with a little garlic salt and pepper. Brush the remaining hot sauce on this side. Flip it over on the plate. Recover with new plastic wrap tightly.
6. Microwave one minute if the fish is less than an inch thick. 1 and a half if its a inch thick.
7. To serve, cover with sauce and sprinkle green onions on top.

**On Bryce's dish scale this one is a WINNER. only think we use is the bowl to mix the sauce in.
