    Salmon in the slow cooker

    Hi ladies, I'm using my slow cooker for the 2nd time I'm wondering if you would put something in to sweeten this dish to take the tang out and a balance it a bit more. I really don't like using sugar opting for honey instead but I don't think honey goes with this dish? Or do you think the flavours will be fine as it.

    So far I have:
    Salmon
    Coconut cream
    Fresh dill, fennel & ginger
    Salt & pepper
    Lemon juice

    I wouldn't add a thing. Although I haven't popped salmon in the slow cooker before so I will be interested to see how it goes!

    I will let you know ds will be having some too so I'm glad your opinion is to leave as is, I have not given him anything with sugar in it. I've got it set on low and it will get to cook for 7 hours if ds eats it at 5pm, hope that will be long enough, I'd say it will be. Can't wait to try it myself!

    2 big fillets/steaks (don't know the correct term) I was going to put more in there as I'm mushing up portions for the freezer with the left overs for DS but dh only got 2 as he thought it was really expensive! He's still vego lol The coconut cream can was a 3/4 size can don't know mls? I put in a hand full of dill and a small fennel. and about maybe 2-3 tablespoons of lemon, a few sprinkles of pepper and probably a teaspoon of himalayan salt and about a 2 inch bit of ginger which I cut into thin long slithers, they tasted great too. I think it's the best fish dish I've ever made. Mind you before I was vego I could never cook it properly anyway, now that I'm eating animal protein again I think I'll be making this one a lot more in the slow cooker
