Slow Cooker Lemon-Garlic Salmon with Baby Potatoes Recipe – Easy & Flavorful Meal

This slow cooker lemon-garlic salmon with baby potatoes is tender, flavorful, and wonderfully simple. The salmon steams gently in bright citrus, garlic, and herbs while the potatoes cook underneath — an effortless, healthy meal perfect for busy weeknights!

  • Total Time: 3 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1.52 lbs salmon fillets (skin on or off)

1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 lemon, sliced

3 tbsp lemon juice

3 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp dried dill or Italian seasoning

½ tsp paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley for serving

Instructions

1. Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray or line with parchment.

2. Add halved baby potatoes to the bottom of the slow cooker. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and half the garlic.

3. Place lemon slices on top of potatoes.

4. In a small bowl, mix remaining olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, dill, salt, and pepper.

5. Place salmon fillets on top of the lemon slices. Brush salmon with the lemon-garlic mixture.

6. Cover and cook on LOW for 2–3 hours, or until salmon flakes easily and potatoes are tender.

7. Gently remove salmon with a spatula and serve over potatoes.

8. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine or broth under the potatoes.

Use garlic butter instead of olive oil for a richer taste.

Add asparagus or green beans during the last 30 minutes for a full meal.

Great for meal prep — refrigerates well for 2–3 days.
