Ingredients
Cooking salmon in the dishwasher might sound unconventional, but this method yields a perfectly tender and flavorful dish with minimal effort. Here’s how to prepare this delightful meal.
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon (sliced)
- Fresh dill or parsley (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Aluminum foil
Instructions
1. Prepare the Salmon
Begin by seasoning the salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will enhance the flavor and ensure a moist texture.
2. Wrap in Foil
Take a piece of aluminum foil for each fillet. Place the seasoned salmon on the foil, adding lemon slices and fresh herbs on top. Fold the foil tightly to create a sealed packet that will trap steam during cooking.
3. Load into Dishwasher
Position the foil packets on the top rack of your dishwasher. This allows for even cooking while keeping everything contained.
4. Run a Cycle
Select a regular wash cycle without drying—no detergent is necessary for this culinary technique. Start your dishwasher and let it work its magic.
5. Serve
Once the cycle is complete, carefully open the foil packets (be cautious of hot steam!). Your salmon should be perfectly cooked and ready to serve warm alongside your favorite sides.
