- .75 tsp Sea Salt
- .25 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- .5 tsp Paprika
- .5 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder

- .66 c Heavy Cream
- .125 tsp Lemon Zest

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.
