Set raw salmon fillets on parchment paper in the slow cooker. A few ingredients later? Wow

 

Tender, flaky, and bathed in a bright lemon-butter sauce, this Slow Cooker Lemon Butter Salmon is the ultimate hands-off seafood dish that feels luxurious yet requires almost no effort. By cooking the salmon on a bed of parchment in the slow cooker, you create a gentle steam environment that locks in moisture and infuses every bite with citrusy, herby richness. It’s perfect for busy weeknights, date nights at home, or impressing guests without ever turning on the oven. And thanks to the parchment sling, cleanup is as effortless as the cooking.
