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!
Can you use other types of fish for this?
Hi Robyn, Thank you for your question. Yes, please make this recipe your own, and if you desire different spices you should change it up!
Do I need to use fresh salmon only or will frozen fillets work as well?
