SALMON WITH LIME BUTTER

serves 2

The Ingredients

aluminum foil

2 salmon fillets

1 tablespoon butter, melted

½ tablespoon lime juice

teaspoon kosher salt

teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon dried minced parsley

2 garlic cloves, minced

The Directions

Use a 4-quart slow cooker. Spread a length of foil out on your countertop, and place the fish in the middle. In a small bowl, combine the butter, lime juice, salt, pepper, parsley, and garlic. Brush the butter and lime mixture on the fish with a pastry brush. Fold the foil over and crimp the sides to create an enclosed packet. Place the packet into an empty slow cooker and cover. Cook on high for 2 hours, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

The Verdict

We eat a lot of salmon, and I’m so glad to have another way to season it. This has a nice mild citrus flavor with a hint of buttery goodness. Yum. Serve with fresh veggies and rice or potatoes.
