Here’s how to make tender Slow Cooker Lemon Salmon for the ultimate easy dinner. The cooked fish is served with a garlic lemon sauce that is healthy and delicious!

  • Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 4 salmon fillets with skin (about 6 ounces each)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1 lemon, juiced (about 3 tablespoons of juice)
  • 4 shallots, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (you can also use avocado oil)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Spray the bottom of a medium-sized crockpot lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Then, use tongs to place the salmon pieces skin-side down in the bottom of the pot.
  3. Add the garlic, wine, lemon zest, and lemon juice, shallots, olive oil, dill, salt and pepper to the crockpot.
  4. Put on the lid and set the time to 2 hours on low.
  5. When the cook time is up, you can remove the cooked salmon to a serving dish.
  6. Then, pour the liquid from the crockpot into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat on the stovetop. Reduce the liquid for 3-4 minutes and then pour over the salmon.
  7. Serve warm.

Notes

  • This recipe is not easily doubled as the fish will likely overlap and will not cook properly.
  • You can use other dried herbs in place of dried dill including dried thyme.
  • The salmon is great served with steamed white rice that can help soak up the sauce. It also goes well with a side of steamed veggies to make it a balanced meal.
