Description
Tender, herb-infused salmon slow-cooked with garlic, lemon, and onion in a crockpot for a flavorful, hands-off meal that melts in your mouth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin-on
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Set your crockpot to the low heat setting.
- In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, and parsley.
- Place onion slices at the bottom of the crockpot and pour in chicken broth.
- Place salmon fillets on top of onions, skin-side down. Rub each fillet with the herb mixture and top with lemon slices.
- Cover and cook on low for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes in the crockpot with the lid off.
- Serve warm with your favorite sides.
Notes

- Don’t skip the broth, it adds flavor and moisture.
- Letting the fish rest after cooking helps flavors settle.
- Try broiling for 2 minutes post-cooking for a crisp top.
