Ingredients

  • 2 6 to 8 oz. Salmon steaks 1 inch thick
  • ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp Cajun spice blend or blackened redfish seasoning
  • ½ medium-sized green bell pepper stemmed, seeded, & diced
  • ½ medium-sized red or yellow bell pepper stemmed, seeded, & diced

Instructions

  • Arrange steaks side-by-side but in opposite directions in a baking dish; press thin belly flaps together, against other steak. (If cooking 4 steaks, arrange in a circle with belly flaps toward the center of the dish.)
  • Rub the top of each steak with ¼ tsp Worcestershire sauce and ¼ tsp lemon juice, then sprinkle or rub with ⅛ tsp spice blend.
  • Sprinkle peppers over fish in center of the pan.
  • Cover dish tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high (100% power) until flesh is nearly opaque, 5 ½ to 6 minutes. (Cook one steak 3 ½ to 4 minutes; 4 steaks about 7 minutes.)
  • Let salmon stand, still covered (puncture plastic wrap if tightly sealed), 1 to 2 minutes longer.
