Ingredients

Protein

4 pieces salmon fillets Use skin-on fillets if preferred.

Sauce

1/3 cup honey Honey adds sweetness and gloss.
1/4 cup soy sauce Use low-sodium soy sauce for less salt.
2 cloves garlic, minced Garlic complements the sweetness.

Oil

1 tablespoon olive oil Used to enhance flavor in the sauce.

Spices

to taste Salt and pepper Adjust according to preference.

Toppings

Chopped green onions For garnish before serving.

Instructions

Preparation

In a bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Place the salmon fillets in the slow cooker in a single layer, skin-side down if applicable.
Pour the honey garlic mixture evenly over the fillets, ensuring each piece is coated.

Cooking

Cover and cook on low for 2–3 hours or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Serving

Once done, garnish with chopped green onions and serve with rice or vegetables.

Notes

Check for doneness at the 2-hour mark to avoid overcooking; salmon should flake easily. For a deeper glaze, remove the lid in the last 15 minutes to reduce liquid slightly. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
