Stephen King’s microwave salmon recipe leaves netizens shuddering; here are some reactions

Stephen King, a New York Times-bestselling novel often hailed as the master of horror for having written books like ‘It‘ and ‘The Shining‘, has sent social media shudders with a recent recipe of his that he shared on Twitter.
The 74-year-old explained the process of making a “microwavable salmon”, which netizens have found utterly appalling.

Dinner: Get a nice salmon filet at the supermarket, not too big.Put some olive oil and lemon juice on it.Wrap it in damp paper towels.Nuke it in the microwave for 3 minutes or so.Eat it.Maybe add a salad.

He just told you to microwave fish. His favorite cheese is not going to be a revelation.

Interestingly, chef José Andrés also shared his thoughts on the recipe, writing in a tweet: “This is a horror movie!”

This is a horror movie!🥴eat it raw, eat it plancha, eat it fry…..but 3 minutes on the microwave is like the twilight zone!😂😂do 1 minute at the time if you use microwave, in and out in and out….and undercooked better! Let the waves heat the water molecules enough to be warm! https://t.co/AUOYFJFTh9
