Ingredients:
- 1-2 pounds of salmon fillets (skinless and boneless)
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
Instructions:
1. Season the salmon: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined. Add the salmon fillets to the bowl and toss to coat them in the marinade.
2. Place the salmon in the crock pot: Transfer the salmon and the marinade to the slow cooker. Make sure the salmon is arranged in a single layer and there is enough liquid to cover the bottom of the crock pot.
3. Cover and cook: Cover the crock pot and cook the salmon on low for 6-8 hours, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Serve: Serve the salmon immediately with your choice of sides such as rice, roasted vegetables, or salad.
