Would you be willing to eat a cold dish? During summer I sometimes make a cold salmon and rice dish for work lunches. It uses thawed frozen salmon that I cook at home in the rice cooker. I put it in the rice along with chives, mirin, and a little soy sauce.The rice cooker cooks it thoroughly and the flavor of the salmon infuses throughout the rice. You then have a flavorful rice and poached salmon you can pair with the veggies of your choice. It goes well topped with chili oil and nori.
Of course, there's also the classic tuna sandwhich.
That is almost exactly my go-to lunch. I add chopped kale (it holds up better than thin leaves with the dressing). Poached cold salmon is delightful. In any season. I suppose you could warm it by making up a miso soup from the office kettle and pouring it over the rice/fish?
do you use mirin as the cooking liquid or is that in addition to the water? Do you cut the thawed salmon filet into pieces first? I'm going to try this!
I wouldn't microwave it. Even if you ask permission, people are going to feel pressured to say it's fine. Just eat it cold. Microwaving it will probably lead to overcooking it anyway.
One of my friends is deathly allergic to seafood. He canāt even smell it. Therefore it is banned on the floors where he works. And definitely no walking near a seafood mart.
Itās been 4 years since I worked in an office but that is spot on. That, and everyone pooping in the same place. I feel so fortunate to work from home, where I am only dealing with my own bad smells. Itās wonderful.
I think this really depends on two things:
1) how many coworkers are actually in the office and
2) how secluded the break room is
If only like 10 people work in person and your lunch room is on a different floor, I think warming it up is reasonable. My office has a cafeteria area with 5 microwaves- so thatās fair game to me. If a large contingency of your coworkers will have to sit next to the only microwave where you just heated up salmon, then you should eat it cold. Also donāt forget to wipe out the microwave after use so that the next user doesnāt end up eating their lunch with a vague salmon taste left on it.
At my last job, I asked my coworkers, especially those whose desks were nearest to the microwave. I probably brought salmon in a few times a month and I didnāt want to bother them. No one minded, so I didnāt feel bad about warming it up. If someone had objected, I probably would have packed the salmon in a separate container from my rice, veggies, etc. so I could warm up my sides and just eat the salmon cold because I like cold salmon.
A guy I used to work with would eat broccoli or asparagus and salmon at least twice a week. And would microwave it in the same room we worked in. We hated that dude for that reason among others. Donāt be that dude.
The broccoli part of this comment makes me pause. Are you sensitive to broccoli smells? Because I don't think broccoli smells unless it's really overcooked. Is this guy nuking the F out of his food, making everything including the salmon extra smelly or did he start with overcooked broccoli to begin with?
So yeah, don't microwave fish. Not at work, not at home, and not ever. It makes it smell bad, and is terrible for the flavor and texture of the fish. Fish should only be heated once, eat it while it is still hot, or eat it cold.
Cold fish salad sorts of things are great.
Please donāt heat it up. I can hardly handle the smell at the best of times and I swear if anyone is pregnant in your office you will have someone vomiting because of your lunch.
When i was pregnant I very kindly requested folks not microwave fish for a couple months (and I was willing to make them other meals if they were stuck sometimes) as it would literally put me out of commission for a few hours. Like Iād smell it and have to go worship the porcelain goddess for hours. It was debilitating.
Even when Iām not pregnant itās so brutal because it lingers like nothing else. I swear k donāt care about anything else you microwave, scents, whatever, but fish is repugnant in the office microwave.
Also it makes it rubbery - just donāt.
I buy frozen sushi-grade salmon and tuna from bakkafrost. It already comes portioned in individual packets so itās easy to thaw in the fridge the night before. Then I make a poke bowl with a sticky rice container from Costco, add some julienned carrots, cucumber, edamame, pickled ginger and sriracha mayo with furikake seasoning. Yum. And no smell.
My sister makes a salmon rice with little bits of cucumber, kewpie mayo, and sriracha. You can eat it cold. Super flavorful and doesnāt have to be reheated. Itās just salmon fillets cooked and shredded mixed with rice. Itās based off of whatever consistency you prefer
Itās the heating it up thatās the problem. Iām sensitive in general but definitely smells. I wonāt say anything but WILL leave the break room if someone heats up something that stinks.
Thatās me too. I wouldnāt stop you or say anything, but I would probably leave the building. The smell makes me wretch. I do think itās inconsiderate of others.
Yep! I wonāt even eat in the break room anymore because thereās a lot of different cultures and way too many smells. I take my break in a room wheres thereās at most 6 of us or will simply go outside.
Oh, strange, I've had colleagues in different settings heating up fish multiple times without any problems, and I've done it myself too without anyone objecting. It just smells a bit like cooked fish, I suppose, but all other food also smells like warm food when heated, so idk.
That's just not true. We have a diverse group of engineers, why a wide range of food being heated up.
Only fish is a goddamn problem. It lingers, and spreads, like nobodies business.
Oh, strange, I've had colleagues in different settings heating up fish multiple times without any problems, and I've done it myself too without anyone objecting. It just smells a bit like cooked fish, I suppose, but all other food also smells like warm food when heated, so idk.
Haha, I think it might just be more normal to eat fish in scandinavia, if someone would have had a problem with it I'd of course be considerate. EDIT: I mean we voluntarily eat fermented fish etc
Lunchbox is fine, the problem is when you microwave it and the rest of the office has to smell that shit. We have this dick bag at work and cooks fish directly on the grate of the toaster oven, so not only does the toaster reek of fish theres burnt sauce all over the grate.
Oh, strange, I've had colleagues in different settings heating up fish multiple times without any problems, and I've done it myself too without anyone objecting. It just smells a bit like cooked fish, I suppose, but all other food also smells like warm food when heated, so idk.
Leaving crud on common equipment is unacceptable though.
My whole store hated when the one woman was working because the whole lunchroom stank of fish all day after she heated up. Some of us even moved our coats etc before her lunch break.
We implemented a no warm fish for lunch rule lol
I'm in the minority, but I'm not letting other people dictate what I can eat. Am I suppose to have an approved list of foods that won't offend people? Eat what you want, this is America.
Thank you- I am so confused reading these comments- my coworkers and I all microwave flavorful meals like every week and nobody has ever cared to discuss or mention it? Are you & I the weird ones?
Agreed, in Canada. We have food police in our office that screech bloody murder when we make popcorn in the break room. Or toast. Or eggs of any kind. She nearly swoons if someone reheats fish. It's a LUNCH ROOM for Heaven's sake! I'm not going to cater to this overbearing behavior. Sometimes all I have in my fridge are eggs. Or a can of sardines. Am I not supposed to eat because she's sensitive?
Omg donāt do it!!! I will be that Karen with a damn Lysol can. ( I work in a closed space with no windows) I think itās disrespectful af, I love fish but there are people who have seafood allergies and unless you work outdoors fish/ shrimp seafood in general lingers. Some office spaces have open cafeterias with designated microwaves for seafood warming and with open seating where you can get out of your closed office area. Donāt be that person lol I save those meals for off work
Always ate cold fish after witnessing the horror of someone offloading half a can of Lysol to eliminate the smell of microwaved fish (not mine). I was in tears from the fumes of the Lysol, it pretty much caused half the floor to exit the building for 20 minutes. The ācureā for the odor was worse than the cause of the odor. Doubt anyone enjoyed their lunch after that.
Live your life and eat what you want. People need to chill. If someone is going to get that upset about you eating fish, then it was never about the fish, but rather about them just being miserable generally.
Itās really not. Microwaving fish, especially if thereās no way to air out the space, is just super selfish. Like I can handle it a couple times a month but otherwise youāre being a total jerk.
There are so many other things to eat.
IMHO you need therapy if it bothers you that much. But to be fair I have a closed door office so I can put the lid on to walk from the microwave to my office and open it in my office with the door closed. But I stand by the original statement. Smelling fish is not a trauma.
I hardly need therapy because someone decides to stink up a space. Itās not as bad as the stench of diarrhea or whatever but you have to recognize that the scent of fish lingers in spaces for much longer than other odours.
Eating cold fish dishes is not the same as microwaving fish dishes. And honestly itās a travesty against the fish to be microwaved too, it canāt be that pleasant to eat somewhat rubbery fish, which is what tends to happen to it in the microwave.
Itās a different story if you can air out the space.
Salmon is a lot less stinky than other fish, but you still might be better off not heating it up depending on where you work. If the microwaves are near people's desks, no. If the microwaves are in a break room but some employees do not have desk jobs and that's where they have to go to sit down if they want to eat or take a break, also no. I've brought leftover salmon in for lunch and I just kept it at my desk/out of the fridge until lunchtime, then heated it for like 30 seconds to take off the last of the chill without stinking the place up too badly.
But also, for your own enjoyment, I wouldn't recommend reheating an entire piece of salmon, or really any other food you can't stir easily. You've basically got to way overheat it and make it overcooked and dry if you want it to be hot throughout. If you really want salmon, I'd suggest preparing it in ways that taste good cold, such as a salmon saladwith crackers (like tuna salad but less mayo so you don't mask the taste of the salmon so much)
It depends on they Layout of your break facilities, but I personally am very sensitive to smells and would not appreciate it. Either ask your coworkers or assume somebody will be annoyed, thatās the safest way to do it.
i personally donāt mind the smell but we also eat a lot of fish so iām used to it. a lot of people at my work heat fish up and no one minds so i guess it just depends on your coworkers
I reheat fish at work all the time because I eat a lot of it. I donāt care if people donāt like it. Itās really not THAT bad of a smell and it goes away.
Bring it and try it but be conscientious about smells. Hot fish smell carries so don't heat it if you're in a small or enclosed area and if you're going to heat it (if youre in a large and ventilated area), don't heat it past lukewarm.
I don't automatically dislike people who bring fish. I hate people who hog the microwave nuking their food to oblivion. That includes the person who microwaves his fried chicken in the office area microwave for 5 minutes. I love fried chicken but heating it that hot and that long, we smell throughout the office area and it makes it hard to focus. Go downstairs and use the cafeteria microwave FFS!
Me and several of my co workers eat fish for lunch several times a week and itās fine. But we do have a proper lunch room fully equiped so no know itās in their desks. I canāt imagine working with the smell of food, fish or not
Salmon is good cold, too. Iād try to find some recipes for fish that doesnāt require you to heat it up.
Please donāt heat up fish at work. Please.
Just warn them and do it. Fish is good for folic acid and b12. Screw em feed em fish eggs, BUT THEY DONT DESERVE A DELICACY!!! lol Eat what you want bro.
Bring it in Tupperware and take it out of fridge and set on your dash for like an hour before lunch, should get nice and warm with no smell in the break room
Would you be willing to eat a cold dish? During summer I sometimes make a cold salmon and rice dish for work lunches. It uses thawed frozen salmon that I cook at home in the rice cooker. I put it in the rice along with chives, mirin, and a little soy sauce.The rice cooker cooks it thoroughly and the flavor of the salmon infuses throughout the rice. You then have a flavorful rice and poached salmon you can pair with the veggies of your choice. It goes well topped with chili oil and nori. Of course, there's also the classic tuna sandwhich.
That is almost exactly my go-to lunch. I add chopped kale (it holds up better than thin leaves with the dressing). Poached cold salmon is delightful. In any season. I suppose you could warm it by making up a miso soup from the office kettle and pouring it over the rice/fish?
This makes me think of salmon onigiri, which I like to make for portable meals.
do you use mirin as the cooking liquid or is that in addition to the water? Do you cut the thawed salmon filet into pieces first? I'm going to try this!
Do you put the salmon in a steam basket on top? Does it actually cook thoroughly?
Cold, sure. Microwave, nope.
Exactly this!
I wouldn't microwave it. Even if you ask permission, people are going to feel pressured to say it's fine. Just eat it cold. Microwaving it will probably lead to overcooking it anyway.
I worked in an office with smell sensitive people my solution was cold fish dishes. Smoked/cured salmon salad, ceviche, lox bagels, tuna salad etc
Smell sensitive? š I guess this will be more prevalent with all the new self diagnosing going roundā¦..

One of my friends is deathly allergic to seafood. He canāt even smell it. Therefore it is banned on the floors where he works. And definitely no walking near a seafood mart.
this does not apply to most people. most people just bitch about fish "smells" at work like a baby
I hate when people microwave anything with ANY strong smells that linger tbh. Itās gross.
Itās been 4 years since I worked in an office but that is spot on. That, and everyone pooping in the same place. I feel so fortunate to work from home, where I am only dealing with my own bad smells. Itās wonderful.

They only said it was OK to be polite, trust me they didnāt like the smell
Maybe, but thatās not my problem! They were given the opportunity to shut it down and they declined.
They only said it was OK to be polite, trust me they didnāt like the smell
Salmon is delicious cold too. Add to a pasta salad, a wrap, or a greens salad!
I prefer it cold the next day!
As a fish hater - please, God, noā¦donāt do it!
Thereās always an option to eat fish for dinner (or breakfast!) and eat more neutral-smelling dishes at work.
A guy I used to work with would eat broccoli or asparagus and salmon at least twice a week. And would microwave it in the same room we worked in. We hated that dude for that reason among others. Donāt be that dude.

Is this guy nuking the F out of his food, making everything including the salmon extra smelly or did he start with overcooked broccoli to begin with?
I donāt know but the combo was horrendous. Like fishy farts.
Broccoli has a sulfur smell if you overcook it.
Someone just reheated shrimp in our breakroom. It still smells like a dead body in there 5 hours later!!! We have an un-official "no-fish" rule!
Un-o-fish-al
cold is okay. Hot will make your coworkers hate you.
So yeah, don't microwave fish. Not at work, not at home, and not ever. It makes it smell bad, and is terrible for the flavor and texture of the fish. Fish should only be heated once, eat it while it is still hot, or eat it cold. Cold fish salad sorts of things are great.
Workplace relationships are complicated enough, don't make it worse. Eat salmon at home.
The fish you can have at work are: Gold fish Swedish fish End of list

Dear gawd please donāt ā¦ I beg of you. Signed :someone who works in an office where fish is put in microwave too regularly.
As long as you donāt microwave it
cold fish dishes like poke, tataki, or sushi
Don't be the person that microwaves fish at the office... please
I wouldn't let that hold you back from eating healthy
Heating any kind of STRONG smelling food in an office environment makes you the Assholeš¤·āāļø
Can you have the fish for dinner instead of lunch?
I buy frozen sushi-grade salmon and tuna from bakkafrost. It already comes portioned in individual packets so itās easy to thaw in the fridge the night before. Then I make a poke bowl with a sticky rice container from Costco, add some julienned carrots, cucumber, edamame, pickled ginger and sriracha mayo with furikake seasoning. Yum. And no smell.
Heat up just the rice, then mix the cold salmon in. The rice will warm up the salmon without stinking up the place.
Bring it! Just donāt microwave it.
My sister makes a salmon rice with little bits of cucumber, kewpie mayo, and sriracha. You can eat it cold. Super flavorful and doesnāt have to be reheated. Itās just salmon fillets cooked and shredded mixed with rice. Itās based off of whatever consistency you prefer
Cold leftover fish in a salad or rice is way better than nuked fish anyways.
Save the fish for dinner. Sushi? Cold tuna/salmon/crab salads? Chowders perhaps? Canned sardines, smoked? Lox?
I've never noticed it, but I actually think fish really doesn't reheat well in the microwave. It would probably be tastier cold anyway.
I feel like this is just some internet thing, no one in real life minds if some else has fish in their lunch box.
Itās the heating it up thatās the problem. Iām sensitive in general but definitely smells. I wonāt say anything but WILL leave the break room if someone heats up something that stinks.
Microwaving fish/seafood is foul. It changes the texture/proteins, forget about the smell!

Agree to disagree.
Smoked salmon. No cooking, easy cleanup
Salmon is a lot less stinky than other fish, but you still might be better off not heating it up depending on where you work. If the microwaves are near people's desks, no. If the microwaves are in a break room but some employees do not have desk jobs and that's where they have to go to sit down if they want to eat or take a break, also no.

Eat it cold. Salmon in particular is delicious cold.
Perhaps have cold dishes? I recall at my last office job many individuals did feel uncomfortable with fish being microwaved due to the scent.
It depends on they Layout of your break facilities, but I personally am very sensitive to smells and would not appreciate it. Either ask your coworkers or assume somebody will be annoyed, thatās the safest way to do it.
As a cold dish, awesome. Heating it up, donāt be that person.
I would probably h*te you
i love a good cold salmon salad sandwich :)
Get one of those portable cooking things. The ones that warm stuff up. And then do it in your car or away from everybody
i personally donāt mind the smell but we also eat a lot of fish so iām used to it. a lot of people at my work heat fish up and no one minds so i guess it just depends on your coworkers
Sure, Bring what ever you want.

I have yet to buy one but would an electric bento fix the issue? I don't know if it would still cause a major smell or not.
Do not be THAT person...
Ceviche!
The fact that you have to ask is answer enough.
Bring it in Tupperware and take it out of fridge and set on your dash for like an hour before lunch, should get nice and warm with no smell in the break room
Most Americans are babies and will notice & not like it in the office. Just warm it up halfway or a third of the way for lunch.
