I've made salmon in mine and it was delicious! Here's what I did...I started with this and made some slight modificationshttp://www.therecipeworks.com/printrecipe.php?id=microwave-salmon-with-herb-sauceI cut my fillet (1.5 lb) in 4 pieces, 50% for 5 min (no lid), put the sauce on, 50% for another 5.I used this for the sauce:
1/2 c mayo
1 tsp dill (a good PC would use the PC dill seasoning!
)
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp saltspread it on w/ the silicone brush of course!
I used most, but not quite all of the sauce
