Poached Salmon | Slow Cooker Salmon | How To Poach Salmon | Slowcooked Salmon

I love salmon.  Until I found this recipe, I had only ever eaten it in restaurants.  I really enjoy the delicate flavors, and find it goes really well with the creamy cheesy sauce from a layered potato bake (scolloped potatoes or something similar).  However, it goes equally well teamed with steamed brocolli or brocolini and snake beans - and when served over rice, can be a nice light meal.

If you have not tried to cook salmon this way before, you are in for a treat!  You don't to turn it when cooking in the slow cooker, but you will need a decent fish spatula to get it out of the slow cooker in one piece when you are ready to serve.
