Slow Cooker Lemon Dill Salmon is a light, flaky, and flavorful dish that combines the brightness of lemon with the freshness of dill. This easy, healthy recipe ensures perfectly cooked salmon with minimal effort, ideal for busy weeknights or relaxed meals.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (skin on or off, your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill (or 2 teaspoons dried dill)
  • 1 lemon, sliced and juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 small onion, sliced (optional)
  • Parchment paper or foil (for lining the slow cooker)

Instructions

  1. Line the bottom of the slow cooker with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking.
  2. If using, layer sliced onion at the bottom of the slow cooker as a base.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on top of the onions or directly on the liner.
  4. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice evenly over the fillets.
  5. Sprinkle the minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper over the salmon.
  6. Top each fillet with lemon slices.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Carefully lift out the salmon and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • For best results, do not overcook—check for doneness at the 1.5-hour mark.
  • Use fresh or dried dill depending on availability.
  • This dish can be served warm or cold in wraps, salads, or bowls.
  • You can add sliced vegetables underneath to steam along with the salmon.
