This awesome. Anyone ever tried this? I might have to give it a whirl… for science. I won’t tell my wife how it was made until she’s finished the meal and unloa

  Please report back your findings, including the wife reaction (the most important part).

  My grandmother used to do this as kind of a party trick. Still think it's kind of crazy though.

  I have done this a few times and it turned out delicious! This method basically poaches the fish, which preserves some of the good fats on the fish. I usually put some salt, pepper, lemon slices and a sprig of some herb (thyme or rosemary) in the foil with it. Sometimes I would use some other seasoning or a bit of garlic. I learned this method from the Surreal Gourmet (as mentioned in the article) as a teenager and gave it a try soon after. It came in handy when I went off to college, because it didn't stink up the apartment and bother the roommates. If you try it, be sure to use a full, normal cycle. Energy saving and other modes might not get up to the right temperature.

  I have. It works perfectly well. My main advice is to wrap the fish very thoroughly in foil, folding the ends tightly, to keep the fish juices and the dishwasher juices separate. Also, if you add lemon, keep it out of contact with the foil, because the acid reacts with the metal when heated; i don't know if it actually affected the salmon, but the foil blackened.
