Salmon with Scallions and Bacon

This dish is so easy to make (literally 10 minutes), presents beautifully, and tastes delicious. I can't take credit for this recipe. I actually learned it from my husband's mom, who used to make this for her family all the time. I recently brought it to a potluck and it was a huge hit.

I used Wild Alaskan Sockeye salmon, which naturally has a beautiful red hue and also tastes incredible. The bacon also adds a nice smokey flavor to the dish. Moreover, this not-so-secret cooking method keeps the fish nice and juicy (not dry!!).

Ingredients
1 piece of salmon filet
raw bacon (3-5 strips - enough to cover the fish)
scallions (~2 stalks)
salt & pepper
garlic powder

Step 1
Remove most of the fat from the bacon and cut up the bacon meat into small strips approximately the width of the fish (around 10-15 cm by 1/2 cm).

Step 2:
Cut the scallions into similar sized "strips."

Step 3:
Lightly sprinkle salt and garlic powder on both sides of the fish. Lay the scallions and bacon across the fish, covering the entire fish.

Step 4:
Cover and microwave for 4 minutes (if the fish is already defrosted) or 6 minutes (if the fish is frozen).

Step 5:
Serve and Enjoy. It really is that easy!
