Question; I want to try steaming salmon in plastic
wrap, the two hot tamales (Mary Sue and Susan)
mentioned this the other day on their show, I have been
looking for recipes on the web this morning to no
avail, has anyone here have suggestions where to find a
recipe or where to look?

Thanks in advance, David

The chemicals used to make plastics pliable imitate estrogen
or other female hormones. Which isn't a good thing to be
eating. These chemicals according to a Tuft's study during a
breast cancer research. Can cause nasty things to happen to
you. Stay away from situations where plastic wrap will touch
your foods.

The way that I have seen this done, may not have the same
effects. I have seen crab steamed this way, with 2 layers of
moistened paper towels wrapped around it first, and then
wrapped in plastic wrap. Place that in the microwave for 2-
2.5 minutes, and viola! You have steamed crab (or salmon)

I have never done this, however, and I do not know if:
a. The salmon would work as well as the crab or,
b. The nasty chemicals would be kept out by the paper
towels.

Forget the plastic wrap. Awhile back, a 14 year old girl did
a science project that lead to the discovery that heating
plastic wrap on food is bad news. Instead, do what the
French did long before the invention of Saran wrap. Do a
Google search for "en papillote". It's a great way to cook
fish. Here's how to make the pouch:

This technique lends itself to microwaving. Here's an old
post of an award winning en papillote/microwave recipe:

This recipe can be easily modified for salmon or other fish.

enjoy =D nb
