Instant Pot Frozen Salmon

This Instant Pot recipe for frozen salmon requires no thawing. The fillets stay warm and moist without overcooking.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cold water

  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • cooking spray

  • 2 frozen salmon fillets

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Pour cold water and lemon juice into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Place a steamer rack inside; coat with cooking spray.

  2. Place frozen salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the prepared rack. Cover and close the vent.

  3. Cook on the Steam setting until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

  4. Check salmon for desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the pot to keep salmon warm until serving.
