Instructions

Let’s walk through this incredibly simple slow cooker process:

1. Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined.

2. Arrange Salmon in Slow Cooker:

  • Place the salmon fillets (skin-side down, if using skin-on) into the bottom of the slow cooker insert. Arrange them in a single layer as much as possible.

3. Add Sauce:

  • Pour the prepared honey garlic mixture evenly over the salmon fillets in the slow cooker.

4. Cook:

  • Cover the slow cooker securely with the lid.
  • Cook on the LOW heat setting for 2-3 hours. Cooking time depends heavily on fillet thickness and your slow cooker model. Salmon is done when it is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Check early to avoid overcooking.

5. Garnish and Serve:

  • Once cooked, carefully lift the salmon fillets out of the slow cooker using a wide spatula, leaving most of the excess liquid behind (or spoon some over if desired).
  • Place the salmon on serving plates. Garnish generously with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Perfectly moist salmon with minimal effort!
