Slow Cooker Apricot Salsa Salmon Recipe

A perfect recipe to Slow Cook Yourself Slim!

This slow cooker apricot salsa salmon is a new favorite.

Ever since discovering the joys of slow cooker salmon years ago, when I first made this Crock Pot Salmon with Asian style vegetables, I've become a huge fan.

Slow cooked fish turns out moist and flavorful every time, something I can't say when I attempt to broil, pan-fry or grill it!

Recipe Notes

This simple tasty recipe requires just three ingredients: frozen salmon, salsa verde (green salsa) and apricot jam.

Sounds a bit weird, or at least my brother thought so when I described it to him.

But it works. Both Rod and I gave this simple slow cooker salsa salmon high marks.

And it couldn't be easier. Perfect when you're feeling lazy or short on time.

WW Friendly Slow Cooker Apricot Salsa Salmon

The original recipe called for apricot jam, but I substituted apricot spread in an attempt to lower the SmartPoints a bit.

The Weight Watchers Beyond the Scale Program is really punitive when it comes to added sugars, so I also decreased the amount from ¼ cup to 3 tablespoons. Next time I might try just two.

You can easily change up the taste of this dish by using whatever combination of jam/fruit spread and salsa suit your fancy. I've already re-made it with homemade orange marmalade and salsa verde.

Next time I'm thinking of combining chipotle salsa and raspberry fruit spread.

The only other requirement is to begin with FROZEN salmon.
