Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Honey Garlic Glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Garnish
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds
- Prepare the glaze: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until well combined to create the honey garlic sauce.
- Place salmon in slow cooker: Arrange the salmon fillets evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker, making sure they are not overlapping.
- Add sauce and cook: Pour the prepared honey garlic mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
- Garnish and serve: Carefully remove the salmon from the slow cooker. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice or your favorite vegetables.
Notes
- Do not overcook the salmon to avoid dryness; check at 2 hours for doneness.
- Use low sodium soy sauce if you want to reduce the salt content.
- Fresh ginger adds authentic flavor, but you can substitute with ground ginger if needed.
- Ensure the slow cooker size fits the salmon fillets without crowding for even cooking.
- Garnishes add texture and visual appeal; feel free to add a squeeze of lime for an extra zest.
