Season the Salmon
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on a microwave-safe plate. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice then sprinkle with dried dill, salt, and pepper.
Cover to Steam
Cover the plate tightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a damp paper towel to trap steam around the fillet.
Microwave the Salmon
Microwave on medium power (70 percent) for 3 to 4 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Rest and Serve
Carefully remove the cover away from you to avoid steam burns. Let rest for 1 minute then serve with your preferred sides.
