Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Place salmon in slow cooker: Arrange the salmon fillets evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker, making sure they are not overlapping.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
