Here’s the complete list of ingredients, with precise measurements:

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (toasted recommended)

Instructions

Let’s walk through this incredibly easy slow cooker method:

1. Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce:

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

2. Arrange Salmon in Slow Cooker:

  • Place the salmon fillets (skin-side down, if applicable) in the bottom of the slow cooker insert in a single layer, trying not to overlap them too much.

3. Add Sauce:

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

4. Cook:

  • Cover the slow cooker securely with the lid.
  • Cook on the LOW heat setting for 2-3 hours. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your salmon fillets and your specific slow cooker model. The salmon is done when it is cooked through, opaque, and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C). Be careful not to overcook.

5. Garnish and Serve:

  • Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon fillets from the slow cooker using a wide spatula.
  • Place the salmon on serving plates. Spoon some of the extra sauce from the slow cooker over the top.
  • Garnish generously with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
