Crockpot Salmon with Caramelized Onions and Carrots

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Place the olive oil and butter in a 4-quart crockpot. Add the onions, baby carrots, and garlic, stir, cover, and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, stirring once during cooking time, until vegetables are beginning to caramelize. This mixture can cook up to 8 to 9 hours if you are away from home while the food is cooking.

2. Step 2

   Place the salmon filet (or the smaller individual fillets) over the vegetables in the crockpot and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and dill weed.

3. Step 3

   Cover and cook on low for 1 to 2 hours until salmon flakes when tested with a fork (test at one hour mark; if salmon is done, turn the crockpot off and keep covered until serving time). If you are cooking salmon fillets, cook them for 40 to 50 minutes at most.

4. Step 4

   When you're ready to eat, place the salmon on a serving plate and top with the onion mixture.
