Cooking fish in a microwave

I am not keen on cooking but I do eat well, according to my Offspring! I cook fish on the "automatic" button of my Panasonic microwave and it's always done perfectly. I use my two Mini Airfryers for all food that requires oven cooking and the results are also great. I place the fish on a Pyrex plate ; add butter and lemon juice and cover the fish with another Pyrex plate , or lid. Easy!

glass dish with lid.

I do fish fillet lightly wrapped in tin foil (gluten free) in main oven at same time as other half has his battered/crumbed fish baked. I suppose I dont think of microwave as dont want smell of fish in it? Someday an airfryer but still use a main oven especially when cooking more than one item. Kitchen gets warmed up and plates too!

I also microwave uncoated white fish, not using full power and checking after three minutes. I've got a couple of plastic bowls with vented lids, but if the fish is too big for the bowls I use an oval porcelain dish and cover with cling film that doesn't touch the food. I make a hole in the film and put a little patch of film on the hole, it will blow off when it fills with steam. I have tried the venting plastic bags but they're expensive and can't really be cleaned and re-used.
I find that the fish is perfectly cooked, tender and moist, ideal to eat with or without sauce.
I also use it if I'm going to make fish pie so that it doesn't take so long to bake the dish once I've added the potato.
I have tried with oily fish but prefer it grilled, though kippers are OK using the lower power.
There are loads of vented covers for microwaving on a plate and perhaps this would be a good solution for you if you could get one that fitted one of your plates?

I use a Lékué Microwave Cookware Red Shallow Steam Case 650ml from Lakeland. It's superb especially for Salmon !

I have just got rid of my microwave, as I dislike using it.

Fish needs so short a time to cook, that it cannot possibly wreck your electricity bill to cook it in a frying pan.

No it won't wreck my electricity bill. Hahahaha.
I currently fry my fish, but want a change and was asking for some tips and recommendations.

I simply put raw fish on a dinner plate and cover with an upturned one. Usually about two minutes in the microwave has great results.

I've had success with microwave fish bags and a plate or silicone lid for lids. Here's a simple recipe:

Quick Microwave Cod

Cod fillet, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper
Cook on high for 3-4 minutes
Add garlic, paprika, or thyme for extra flavor.
Hope this helps! Happy cooking!

A microwave fish steamer is on its way to me and I look forward to trying some of the ideas you have given me
Tonight maybe I have fried my last trout fillet!

My fish steamer arrived yesterday and I cooked a salmon fillet last night in it. Brilliant. No oily fishy pan to wash. Cooked perfectly. Thankyou ferry23 for the recommendation. I shall cooked smoked haddock this weekend.

HelterSkelter1 - great news! So glad it was a success for you.

Just be aware that salmon and smoked fish if it's not natural (ie it's yellow) will discolour the tray and container after a time. It doesn't affect the cooking or the taste of anything.

I've also used mine to steam vegetables and it's particularly good for asparagus.
