Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 13:36:47 GMT

Step 1

Line slow cooker with a large piece of parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut one lemon into slices and arrange a layer of lemon slices down the middle of the slow cooker.

Step 3

Place salmon on top of lemon slices; spray salmon with cooking spray and season with salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, garlic granules, and Italian Seasoning. Using your fingers, rub the seasoning all over the salmon.

Step 4

Pour broth and lemon juice into the slow cooker, all around the fish. DO NOT pour it over the fish.

Step 5

Liquid should come about halfway up the fillet.

Step 6

Cook on LOW for 2 hours, or until opaque and flaky.

Step 7

Preheat oven to 400F.

Step 8

Lift up the slow cooker bowl and pop it in the oven for about 5 to 8 minutes to get a bit of that browning on top of the fish. (Most slow cooker bowls can handle oven heat up to 400F)

Step 9

Remove from oven and lift out the fish by the parchment paper; transfer to a cutting board and set aside.
