Slow cooker lemon dill salmon

Slow cooker lemon dill salmon is a flavorful and healthy dish that's incredibly easy to prepare. Combining fresh dill, a hint of lemon, and a touch of black pepper, this recipe allows the natural flavors of the salmon to shine through. Using a slow cooker ensures that the salmon remains tender and moist, making it a perfect option for a fuss-free meal.

Ingredients:

1 fillet salmon
320g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 slice lemon
7g
1 cup dill
9g
1.25 cup water
300g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon:
- Begin by rinsing the salmon fillet under cold water and then pat it dry with paper towels.
- Season the salmon evenly with the dash of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Slow Cooker:
- Pour 1.25 cups of water into the bottom of the slow cooker. This water will create steam, keeping the salmon moist during cooking.
- Place a layer of dill (fresh or dried) at the bottom of the slow cooker. This will act as a bed for the salmon and infuse it with flavor.
3. Add the Salmon:
- Place the seasoned salmon fillet on top of the dill layer in the slow cooker.
- Lay a slice of lemon on top of the salmon. The citrus will add a refreshing flavor as it cooks.
4. Cook the Salmon:
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
- Set the slow cooker to the low heat setting and cook the salmon for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. The salmon should be cooked through and tender, with an internal temperature of about 145°F (63°C).
5. Finishing Touch:
- Once the salmon is cooked, carefully remove it from the slow cooker using a spatula, ensuring it stays intact.
- Serve the salmon immediately, garnished with additional fresh dill and a wedge of lemon if desired.

Tips:

- Make sure to use fresh dill for the best flavor.

- Check the salmon periodically to ensure it doesn’t overcook. An internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) indicates it is done.

- For a complete meal, serve the salmon with steamed vegetables or a side of quinoa.

- If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, you can add a few extra slices of lemon on top of the salmon in the slow cooker.

- To avoid a fishy smell in your kitchen, consider using a slow cooker liner.

Cooking salmon in a slow cooker allows for a hands-off approach to preparing a delicious and nutritious meal. The combination of lemon and dill creates a fresh and light flavor profile that pairs perfectly with the rich, buttery texture of the salmon. With these simple ingredients and straightforward steps, you can enjoy a gourmet dish with minimal effort.
