No one wants to turn on the oven during the August heat! Trust me – we understand 🙂 With an Alaska trip up and coming my mind is turning to Salmon so I wanted to give you a recipe that included salmon and NOT turning on the oven [and not the grill just because that is hot too]. I found a wonderful slow cooker recipe that will keep your kitchen cool but your tastebuds happy. Serve with a robust salad and you have a cool, healthy and hearty meal!  Keep cool my friends and remember that summer is almost over – so enjoy!
Crockpot Sweet and Spicy Salmon
 Ingredients
-
- 1 largish pieces of salmon
- 1 T brown sugar
- 1/2 t paprika
- 1/2 t cumin
- 1/4 t crushed garlic
- 1/4 t oregano
- 1/4 t kosher salt
- 1/4 t red pepper
- aluminum foil
Instructions
-
- In a medium-sized dish or small pan ( I used a glass pie plate), combine all of your spices with the brown sugar
- Spread out a length of foil on the counter for each piece of fish
- Put each piece of fish in the center of it’s own foil
- Rub the top of the salmon with your spice and sugar mixture (it’s okay to mound up the spice a bit, and it is fine to only rub the top)
- Fold the foil over and crimp up the sides to make a contained packet
- Put the foil packets into a dry crockpot
- Cover and cook on high for 1-2 hours, or on low for 1.5-2.5.
