The Anyhand Mitts
Handle hot Anyday dishes with care with these microwave mitts that double as trivets!
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled (40g)
- 2 tablespoons panko crumbs
- 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 8oz (225g) salmon filet
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons black olives, thinly sliced
- 1 artichoke heart, quartered
Preparation
- In a bowl mix the feta cheese, panko, parsley, lemon zest, and garlic powder until a coarse crumble is formed.
- Season the salmon with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the panko mixture, making a ‘crust’ over the salmon. Set aside.
- Place the wine, butter, chili flakes, olives, and artichokes into the Anyday dish. Cover with the lid (knob lifted) and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes or until the liquids have come to a simmer and the butter is fully melted.
- Add the salmon (panko-crust side up) and continue cooking at Power Level 6tooltip for 2-4 minutes or until the fish is almost completely cooked. For thicker filets, add another 1-2 minutes of cooking time.
- Serve the salmon alongside the sauce and vegetables.
Serving suggestions & tips
- Substitute the salmon for halibut or cod for equally delicious results.
- Substitute the parsley with mint for a refreshing touch.
- If artichokes are unavailable, you may substitute with cherry tomatoes or asparagus.
Recipe notes
- Remember that the thickness or height of the fish determines the cooking time. If needed, add 1-2 minutes until the fish is cooked to your liking.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
