Salmon

Creamy Lemon Sauce

Instructions:

Salmon

  • Line slow cooker with a large piece of parchment paper.
  • Cut one lemon into slices and arrange a layer of lemon slices down the middle of the slow cooker.
  • Place salmon on top of lemon slices; spray salmon with cooking spray and season with salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, garlic granules, and Italian Seasoning. Using your fingers, rub the seasoning all over the salmon.
  • Pour broth and lemon juice into the slow cooker, all around the fish. DO NOT pour it over the fish.
  • The liquid should come about halfway up the fillet.
  • Cook on LOW for 2 hours, or until opaque and flaky.
  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Lift up the slow cooker bowl and pop it in the oven for about 5 to 8 minutes to get a bit of that browning on top of the fish. (Most slow cooker bowls can handle oven heat up to 400F)
  • Remove from oven and lift out the fish by the parchment paper; transfer to a cutting board and set aside.

Creamy Lemon Sauce

  • Set a small saucepan or pot over medium-high heat and stir in lemon juice, broth, and cream.
  • Bring to a simmer.
  • Set heat to LOW; cover the pot and cook for 8 minutes. 
  • Uncover; stir in lemon zest, set heat to HIGH and cook for 2 more minutes, or until the sauce has thickened a bit and reduced. 
  • Remove from heat; taste for seasonings and adjust accordingly.
  • Cut up the salmon into individual fillets.
  • Pour sauce over the fillets and garnish with parsley.
  • Serve with lemon wedges.
