Ingredients
2 salmon fillets
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
4 scallions, green parts cut into 2-inch segments
1 scallion, green part thinly sliced
Directions
Lightly rub the canola oil on the bottom of a slow cooker insert. Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Arrange the salmon fillets in the slow cooker in a single layer. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the fillets.
Scatter the sliced ginger over the salmon, distributing it evenly. Layer the 4 scallion segments cut into 2-inch pieces on top.
Cover and cook on low heat for 2 hours, until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F at its thickest part and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully transfer the salmon and braising liquid to serving plates. Garnish with the thinly sliced scallion green just before serving for fresh color and mild onion flavor.
