Slow-Cooker Salmon Recipe

Slow-cooking makes for a tender, not-one-bit-dry fillet. Use a fattier variety of salmon like king (Chinook) or Atlantic. Ask the fishmonger for the thickest piece. The parchment paper lining lets you poach and remove the whole fillet. An aromatic lemongrass blend flavors the salmon while elevating it for even cooking. While salmon might not be native to our warm Gulf waters, we have lots of Southern ways to cook up this cool-water dwelling fish.
