Microwave Teriyaki Salmon

---

This recipe is heaven-sent for working folk--not only is is quick and tasty, but kids love it and the texture is so velvety smooth that you'll never cook salmon anywhere but in the microwave again! It is low in calories, fat and carbs to boot. Serve on a bed of spinach sauteed in a bit of olive oil with fresh minced garlic, salt & pepper (like #28274 or #31108 from this website) and you have a company-worthy, healthful meal. Seven minutes refers to cooking time; marinating time is an additional 30 minutes.
