Crockpot Salmon. Yep, you read that right

So I ran out of propane over the weekend. And when I went to go setup an account to have more propane delivered I found out that they want to do a leak check on top of the very nice and high costs of the propane with delivery. Let's face it a 75 gallon propane tank is not going to fit in my tiny little hybrid. And this stove is probably not going to pass a leak check. So, that got me to thinking and panicking. How am I going to cook? Especially how am I going to make pasta for Tot? So I went out and bought one of those dual burner hot plates. It's going to sit on the stovetop. And I can utilize my two crockpots for the rest of the cooking. I'm lazy enough that I can handle everything being in one pot, right? Well, the first dish was salmon. I made stuffing and squash to go along with it in the microwave. Told you I was lazy!

Awesome Salmon:
1-1.5 lb salmon filet. (I left the skin on)

Sauce/glaze:
1 TBSP. Spicy Brown mustard (I used grey poupon with the onions in it)
1 tsp. honey
3 heaping TBSP. coarse ground country mustard (I used the grey poupon on this one too)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (I eyeballed it.  There was probably a little more than that.)

Mix these 4 ingredients together until they are nicely incorporated and almost runny.

Put the salmon in a very well greased/sprayed crock pot skin side down. Dump the sauce over the salmon and make sure to spread it on as much of the fish as possible. Set the cooker on low for 2.5 hours. Then enjoy!

This was really good. The babysitter liked it. Tot at least looked at it but he wasn't in any mood to try anything last night. I enjoyed it so much that I forgot to take a picture of my plate so I took one of Tot's and trust me when I say that the picture does the meal no justice. And I actually spooned the sauce from the crockpot over my squash because I ate that last and the sauce started thicken up in there a little as it cooled down. So, this is a keeper!
