I just wrap it in foil and bake it in the oven for 15/20 mins. Add a squeeze of lemon salt/pepper and some dill if you wish.
Wrap in tin foil with a little butter. 180 degrees for 17 minutes.
Schwartz do a lemon and dill sauce, in a sachet, which is a lovely. Serve with new potatoes and asparagus for a nice meal in under 20 mins!
I always do it in the microwave.
A good splash of lemon or lime juice, or white wine, and a couple of tablespoons of water, in a covered dish for two minutes for two bits of salmon. Turn, and do for another minute or so. Perfect.
Microwaving is an excellent way to cook salmon steaks (and also other firm-textured fish, such as whole trout).

I've not tried Ethandron's technique though. I simply microwave a salmon steak, as it is, for a couple of minutes (at the most) on 'high'. You can cook a smallish whole trout in the same time too, but remember to score the skin first.
I marinate and grill. Chives,olive oil,seasoning for 30 minutes,then grill for 10-15. It's what I had tonight.
I like them pan seared for crunch. Hot fry pan, add olive oil & place salmon skin side down for 3mins, turn over with spatula & fry till salmon is opaque color & flaky; about 5mins. A bit of burn adds texture. Serve with lemon, boiled new pots & broccoli.
Whenever I do salmon I just buy it of the fish counter and you get it in a bag with flavoured butter and just shove it in the oven.
^ off
^^^that's why I grill...sticky crunchy bits :-)
