Join the discussionWhat if no slow cooker?
Hi Jennifer. This recipe could also be baked or grilled. It will cook much quicker, so just make sure to pull it out when it is opaque and flaky.
This looks awesome! Do you think other types of fish could work?
Any type of white fish will work here, Amy. I’ve made it with Orange Roughy and it’s delicious!
I’m assuming you should defrost these before placing in the slow cooker?
For this recipe you can place frozen foil packs in slow cooker. Enjoy!
Do you have a recipe for the pesto in the picture? Thanks.
