Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet

- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup chicken broth (or white wine, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker:
- Line the bottom of your slow cooker with lemon slices. This will prevent the salmon from sticking and infuse it with a lemony flavor.
- Season the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillet on top of the lemon slices in the slow cooker.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon, then sprinkle with minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the chicken broth or white wine (if using) around the salmon to keep it moist during cooking.
- Cook:
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the salmon is tender and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve:
- Carefully remove the salmon from the slow cooker and transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with extra lemon slices and fresh dill if desired. Serve with your favorite sides, such as rice or roasted vegetables.
