Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Honey Garlic Glaze

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Season the Salmon: Lightly season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. This step enhances the natural flavor of the fish and helps balance the glaze.
  2. Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until well combined. This mixture will give the salmon its signature sweet and savory glaze.
  3. Place Salmon in Slow Cooker: Arrange the seasoned salmon fillets in the bottom of your slow cooker in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
  4. Pour the Sauce: Carefully pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the salmon fillets, making sure each piece is well coated with the glaze.
  5. Cook the Salmon: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to keep the fillets tender and moist.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Carefully transfer the salmon to serving plates, spoon some glaze from the slow cooker over the top, and garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not overcook salmon in the slow cooker; check for doneness around 1.5 hours to avoid dryness.
  • You can substitute low-sodium soy sauce to reduce the sodium content.
  • Serve with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
