Slow-Cooked Herbed Salmon

This recipe involves a crockpot, something I use on a regular basis. It is so easy, anyone can do it. The results give the appearance of special culinary skills. It's fun....

It is an great and tasty way to get your Omega-3s and heart-healthy salmon into your meal:

3-ounces salmon
Italian seasoning
water

Just cover the crockpot's bottom with water. Place the salmon into the crockpot. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning. If you don't have Italian seasonin, use oregano, parsley, basil, thyme and rosemary.

Turn crockpot on high. Place lid onto pot. For extra insulation, I like to cover the lid with a thick towel.

Cook for about 1 hour. Turn the salmon over and sprinkle with other side with the spices. Cook for about another hour. Make certain there is enough liquid underneath the salmon to avoid sticking or browning.

When done, remove salmon from pot and serve. You may want to squeeze a fresh orange or lemon onto the salmon prior to serving. This provides extra flavor.
