Step 2

Season the fillets with the sea salt, thyme, rosemary, garlic and lemon juice. Place salmon into a foil boat (fold sides up) that secures all the liquids. Drizzle some olive oil on the fillets.

Step 3

Cut your vegetables into bite sized pieces. I used broccoli, cauliflower and carrots but this is up to personal preference. Place in foil boat (say that 10 times quickly) and add water.

Step 4

Practice safe cooking and wrap up both foil boats. This prevents the water from the dishwasher to not ruin your dinner.

Step 5

Place the salmon and vegetables on the top rack of the dishwasher. Be wary to not puncture the foil.

Turn the dishwasher on its highest setting, with heated dry on and run the washer.

#SpoonTip: DO NOT LOAD SOAP IN THE WASHER.

Wait patiently. Have a beer with some friends while you wait (highly suggested).

When the cycle is done, wait for about 10 minutes and pull your food out.
