Look I will freely admit there are plenty of better ways to cook salmon… but for a 3 minute meal he’s not wrong about this being a far better option than most.
Among the better ways, toast it in the toaster oven. Not a pop-up slice toaster!
Turn on the kitchen vent, open a window, tun on the air purifier, whatever.
Put your salmon fillet skin-side-down on a piece of parchment or aluminum foil on the pan that fits in your toaster oven. No skin? Don’t worry, it’s fine.
Here’s where you separate a tiny bit for the cat that gets cooked but not seasoned
Sprinkle the top with seasoned salt and dill. Oil is not necessary, salmon has plenty of its own fat. Lemon can wait until you’re about to bite into it.
Hit TOAST. If you have to choose a number choose the middle one. Go make your salad.
When it beeps, see if it’s perfect or needs another round, maybe on a smaller number. A spatula will lift the cooked fish off its skin onto your plate.
If you like salmon skin, put it in for another toast on its own, but this time watch it, because it’s frying itself in there and could burn. If you don’t like the skin, toss it out.
I’m not as concise as Mr. King, that’s why he makes the big bucks.
I did this once as an undergrad when I lived in the dorms. It worked fine for cooking the fish, but that toaster was never the same again. It’s really hard to clean the crevices around the crumb tray.
This is my lazy quesadilla trick. Nuke with cheese in the microwave until cheese melted, fold in half, put in toaster laying on side. Pops out crispy right onto my plate!
Not as good as when properly made, but quick, no skillet dirty and better than microwaved alone.
Toaster on side also a quick way to reheat slice of cold pizza!

More recipes need to specify where I should separate a portion to feed to my cat.
As a vegan, my cat never wants part of my dinner.
Hold my beer.
Now I’m picturing someone jamming salmon filet into a toaster, thanks for that image 😂

2/10, would not recommend.
Probably shouldn’t use a panini maker either
Bread machine is right out!
What else is the salmon setting for?
Pornography.
if you need to use the salmon setting on the bread machine, you get a much smoother texture putting it in a food processor inside an oven.
A waffle iron would equally be unwise.
Honestly… I think you could make that work…
i’ma turn my toaster sideways and let my oppositional defiant disorder win today
There are less smelly and messy ways of attracting firemen to your house
yeah but if i feed them once they’re here they might stay

Film it and put it on YouTube… so we can ALL win.
fuck now i gotta go buy a shitty toaster i’ve been using my air fryer for toast for years
We can wait
Maybe the first time anyone has accused King of being concise.
Totally. For a healthy, quick, easy, tasty meal, this really gets high marks.
Is it one of the best ways to maximize salmon’s flavor? No
Is it one of the best healthy, quick, easy, tasty meals? Yes
Microwave is great for cooking fish. I would swap the paper towels for a covered dish with chopped onions, herbs and some white wine.
