How To Make Microwave Salmon: 5-Minute Recipe
In the age of air fryers, we've forgotten about the OG kitchen hero: the microwave. Chef Mic has been whipping up meals faster than you can say 'fish fillet' long before convection became trendy. That said, microwaving fish? It's the one culinary act we've all agreed is a crime against humanity. But when I saw Tasty had a microwave salmon recipe, I decided to reject modernity, embrace tradition, and take the bait. And since I live alone, there's no one around to report my fish felony to the food police. What surprised me wasn't the fact that it used the microwave; it was the speed. Five minutes?! Sounded a little fishy, literally. How could that possibly be enough time to cook salmon all the way through to 145°F? Turns out, salmon's naturally rich, fatty makeup (shoutout omega-3s) makes it weirdly microwave-friendly. Add a splash of liquid and you've got some steam. Then, Chef Mic locks it in, creating a mini salmon spa session that cooks the fillet to moist, flaky, fin-tastic perfection. To make it, place your salmon fillet in a microwave-safe dish and season generously with salt, pepper, and BBQ seasoning for that smoky-sweet contrast. Hey, you! Wanna cook this recipe in step-by-step mode? Download the free Tasty app right now. Pour a bit of apple juice and soy sauce around the fish (not directly on top), then cover the dish loosely with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap (not foil, obvi), leaving a small gap for steam to escape. Microwave on high for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillet. Let it rest for 1 to 2 minutes before diving into perfectly cooked, tender, flaky, and shockingly good salmon. The sweet, salty, smoky flavor was way more complex than you'd expect from a microwave. The apple juice adds subtle sweetness, the soy sauce gives it depth, and the BBQ rub makes it taste like you reeled in something special, without breaking a sweat. With just one dish, cleanup's a breeze, too. No burnt pans, no fishy trays, and best of all: no lingering seafood smell! I lit a candle just in case, but didn't even need it. Chef Mic kept things effortless and odorless. No matter what's in your fridge, this salmon recipe will make a splash. It's quick, customizable, and pairs swimmingly with just about any seasoning. Feeling fancy? Add dill, capers, and a few lemon slices before cooking. Want some spice? A splash of sriracha, a spoonful of gochujang, or a pinch of chili flakes does the trick. Need a base? Serve it over rice, toss it into a salad, layer it onto noodles, or tuck it into a soft tortilla. This microwave salmon hack is clutch when you're short on time, low on energy, or just trying to avoid turning your kitchen into a sauna. It's a weeknight lifesaver, a heatwave hero, and the perfect fix for those 'I'm hot, I'm tired, and I need protein in five minutes' moments of dinner despair. It's also great for beginner cooks, college students with limited gear, or anyone feeding hungry eaters on a tight timeline. Kids love the speed. Parents love the simplicity. No flames, no fuss, no dish pileup. Just Chef Mic, quietly delivering a hot meal like the dependable, electromagnetic legend it is.

Watch what happens when dad tries his daughter's homemade churro
Watch what happens when dad tries his daughter's homemade churro Show Caption Hide Caption Watch as churro dad take an explosive bite When this man tried his daughter's dish for a Spanish project, the result ended up turning more into a "science" project. A dad got something totally unexpected when he bit into his daughter's homemade churro. TikTok user @morganwickam0 prepared the churros as part of a Spanish project, according to a caption on the video posted May 26. It was her first time making the fried dough treat, and she sat her father down for a taste. "Tiempo probar los churros," the girl says in the video, which translates to "time to try the churros." A wholesome video between a daughter and her dad for a school project quickly turned into a chaotic moment after the churro had a surprising outcome: exploding in his face. As the dad made his first bite, a sound like a gunshot rang out, and bits of churro flew out of the dad's mouth. Watch the exploding churro moment. Is an exploding churro rare? Yes, and no, it really depends on whether you cook them correctly. According to Tasty, a churro can "explode" if steam becomes trapped inside the treat when it is fried. A reason churros are star-shaped with ridged edges is to prevent steam from becoming trapped. In the TikTok video, the churros made for the Spanish project are completely smooth, trapping steam and seemingly making them into a ticking churro bomb. As of June 6, the video had 2.6 million views and thousands of comments. In a follow-up video, the girl and the father gave an update on the situation, with the dad joking he won't be 'able to taste anything for at least a year.'
