Grab a slow cooker, some salmon and serve up a dinner your family will love

Salmon is one of the healthier proteins you will find. It's loaded with nutrients, including those omega-3 fatty acids we all need. However, it's also quite lean, and doesn't have the mercury content of, say, your average tuna. If you want to avoid red meat, but want something hearty and tasty as the star of your meal, salmon is an excellent choice.
How to prepare your salmon, though? Sure, you can grill it a bit and spray a little lemon on it, but why not try something new? In fact, why not bust out your slow cooker? Salmon is tender as is, but cooking it in a slow cooker doesn't just make it tender. It also helps infuse your fish with other flavors without losing that distinct flavor of salmon. Try out these slow cooker recipes the next time you're looking for a way to prep your salmon.
