Equipment

Ingredients

10 ounces salmon fillets
1 package (12 to 16 ounces) frozen Asian stir fry vegetable blend
Salt & Pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce (gluten-free, if desired)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Ideal slow cooker size: 1-1/2-Quart.
Dump the frozen vegetables in the slow cooker.
Season the salmon with salt and pepper to taste.
Place salmon on top of the vegetables.
Mix together the soy sauce, honey and lemon juice and drizzle over the salmon.
Drizzle with sesame seeds, if using.
Cover and cook on LOW 2 to 3 hours, until the salmon is done to your liking. I'm a huge salmon lover, so like it on the just barely done side and cooked mine about 2-1/2 hours.
Serve with brown rice, if desired.
Drizzle everything with the sauce from the slow cooker.

5 PointsPlus (Old plan)

This is the kind of recipe that can be varied in lots of ways by mixing up the kinds of fish and vegetable blend you use. I think it would work well with thin boneless, skinless chicken breasts too.

Flavor Boosters

Garlic and Ginger: Freshly grated ginger and minced garlic deepen the Asian flavors.
Hoisin Sauce: A touch of hoisin adds sweetness and complexity.
Sriracha or Red Pepper Flakes: Adds a little heat for spice lovers.
Oyster Sauce: Enhances umami and richness.
Sesame Oil: A drizzle of toasted sesame oil at the end brings out nutty depth.

Variations

Different fish - most any fish would work - halibut, haddock, cod, tilapia, shrimp etc.
Chicken - thin boneless skinless chicken breasts would work, but may take longer (3 to 4 hours).
Tofu - Use cubes of firm tofu for a vegetarian version.
Different veg - any variety of frozen/fresh mixed vegetable blend should work.
Spicier - add chile or dried red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
Different sauce - substitute bottled stir fry sauce of your choice. Though not Asian, this would also be nice with topped with lemon slices and drizzled with white wine and lemon juice.
