Reply to comment by digitalfrustration in [Homemade] Salmon on a bed of rice and vegetables by predictably_complex

What do you mean? I sautéed the vegetables and put them in the slow cooker with a sauce. I was just kind of winging it to be honest but I'm open to suggestions or methods that would help?

That was sarcasm, I think. They are suggesting the veggies are way overcooked. Just sauté them and add to the rice with sauce at the end. Why slow cook veggies? I would understand if it were a stew.

Appreciate the feedback, in hindsight I definitely shouldn't have added the peas but live and learn

Thanks! I was just trying out slow cooking them as like to experiment sometimes. The flavour was really good but the criticism is fair as veggies would have been better with a crisp texture

Adding the peas is fine. It's just that your vegetables should maintain their colour by not overcooking them. We used to cook vegetables to squishy mush but now we tend to cook veg, like you've used, so it still has a bit of crunch. The peas should still pop a bit when you eat them. I hope this helps. Your salmon and rice look divine! Good work!

Totally agree with you! Having some crunch and colours that pop out definitely help. I also love that with cooking you can always learn from your dishes and try not to make the same mistakes over again.

If the veggies were frozen or fresh, I would have steamed them. It retains the color and has a better texture. If I had to use canned peas, I would put them on the side.
