INSTANT POT LEMON GARLIC SALMON

Steps:

• Place 1 cup pf water into the inner pot of the Instant Pot.
• Slice salmon as desired and so that it fits in the Instant Pot.
• You can place the salmon directly in the Instant Pot inner pot, use a dish or a steamer rack. Place the salmon into a baking dish, if that's what you're using.
• Top the salmon with olive oil, salt and pepper, lemon slices, and garlic cloves. If you want your salmon to have a more lemony flavor, squeeze lemon juice over it, using the other lemon half. For extra flavor: add a bit of grass-fed butter on top of your salmon. Place a couple pieces of sliced butter on top of each piece of salmon. It will melt when it starts cooking and give your salmon an even better flavor.
• Place the baking dish, using a trivet with handles, into the Instant pot.
• Close the Instant Pot lid, seal and set to a high pressure for a cook time of 3 minutes, 5 minutes if you're cooking from frozen.
• Natural release the pressure for 5 minutes followed by a quick release of the remaining pressure.
• Your salmon is ready. Enjoy!

LEMON SALMON - INSTANT POT RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Season the salmon with the lemon juice, Nanami Togarashi, sea salt, and pepper. Insert the stainless steel steam rack that comes with your Instant Pot to the bottom of the pot with the handles up. Place the salmon fillets on the steam rack in a single layer (or silicone steamer ). Ours slightly overlapped but didn't impact the look or taste when they finished cooking. Pour any leftover lemon juice and seasoning over the fillets. Add 1 cup of water to the pot, carefully avoiding washing away the seasoning off the salmon fillets. Cover and lock the lid. Select "Manual" mode and press the "-" button until it reads 5 minutes. Also make sure to set the top knob to "Sealing" and not "Venting". You'll want to reduce the time by 1 minutes for every 1/4-inch smaller than 1-inch or increase the time by 1 minute for every 1/4-inch larger than 1-inch. For example a 3/4-inch salmon fillet will cook for 4 minutes while a 1 1/2-inch salmon fillet will cook for 7 minutes. Cooking time adapted from Frieda Loves Bread. The Instant Pot will beep at you when it finishes cooking the salmon. To avoid over-cooking, do a quick release.
