(13,446 posts)Generally, as others have said, red meat is not a good bet in the microwave. Chicken works fine if it is boneless, and fish is EXCELLENT prepared in a microwave. This is gonna sound awful but it really is an excellent way to cook fish either in a microwave or an oven:
Mix up:
a half to a quarter cup of REAL mayo
Diced onion
Dill
Lay fish out in a microwave safe plate/dish. Slather that mayo concoction on top of that nice piece of fish. Tilapia works ok, Cod, Flounder--pretty much any fish will do, actually.
Cover it with plastic wrap and microwave until fish flakes easily.
An alternative to that is to take the mayo and mix it with parmesan, garlic, and any other Italian herbs you like. Same drill, slather it on the fish and nuke it till it quits swimming...
You will get a very moist fish and it will have an actual flavor!!!!!
Good luck!
