- 1 lemon
- 1/2 c. prepared pesto sauce
- 1/2 sp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

This is a perfect blend for salmon, pesto sauce and lemon. Serve with wild rice to complement the salmon.
1. Lightly coat the crock pot with cooking spray.
2. Cut the lemon in half. Slice one half of the lemon into thin slices and reserve.
3. Squeeze the juice of the other lemon half into a small bowl and blend with the pesto, salt and pepper.
4. Whisk to combine.
5. Place the salmon in the stoneware of the crock pot and cover the fillets with the pesto mixture.
6. Top each fillet with the lemon slices.
7. Cover. Cook on Low 2-3 hours.
Happy Crocking!

Did not change a thing. This salmon was so good and I was afraid to put such expensive fish in the crock pot. Turned out sooooo good. Loved the pesto and lemon.
Was the cooking time of 2 hours enough or needs longer?
Hello Darcie! It was long enough, but certainly everyone’s crock pot cooks differently, therefore you should test it! Happy Crocking!
