  1. This is a very nice slow cooker recipe. The salmon holds up very well to the sweetness of the marinade. I really enjoyed it and I am planning on making it again. I love slow cooker recipes that look like they came about from some great effort on my part instead of my slow cooker's!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
