INGREDIENTS:

4 boneless, skin-on wild alaska king salmon 1-1/2 " thick fillets, (skin-on while microwaving makes for
moister salmon)

4 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup quality white wine

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dark brown sugar

1 tablespoon crushed dried dill seeds

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon ground pepper

METHOD

In a microwavable 9”x9” casserole dish with a glass lid, combine butter, wine, lemon juice, paprika, dark brown sugar, dill weed, and kosher salt and ground pepper. Microwave, covered, on high, until butter is melted for about 2 minutes, depending on the individual wattage of your microwave.

Add salmon flesh-side down (it makes it easier to remove the skin after microwaving).  Cover casserole dish, and microwave on high for 6 minutes.  Be sure to use oven mitts when removing the hot casserole dish from microwave.  Serve with your favorite side dish. ~ Enjoy!

Tip:  This recipe is fabulous if you choose to use halibut fillets, although reduce the cooking time to 5 minutes and substitute the dill for your favorite herb (e.g., parsley, tarragon and/or chives) please.
