Review
I loved salmon, so naturally I really liked this dish. The sauce of the salmon was very tasty. The rice pilaf got a little overdone and mushy though, unfortunately. I’m learning that how your food cooks in a slow cooker has a lot to do with what size of cooker you are using. It really should be 3/4 full. So if you are cooking for a smaller family I would get a 3 quart cooker and for bigger groups use a 5 or 6 quart cooker. I actually just purchased a 3 quart to go along with my 6 quart so it should make things cook better and turn out better. 3 stars.
