I wouldn't cook either one in the microwave....I only use my microwave for defrosting & heating up/boiling water.....I don't like the way meats come out in the 'wave -- dry, rubbery & it doesn't brown well....

Defrost chix in the 'wave & slice into strips then pan fry, same with salmon or bake either one.

Invest in A George Foreman Grill! They are amazing for those of us who are culinarily challenged...like myself!

as a professional chef i condone what jens has stated


cooking protiens in a microwave is a sin DRY DRY DRY
it ruins the protien and the bioavailability is less
besides salmon should be served medium rare or medium
never fully cooked
DRY DRY DRY
