Directions
1. Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
2. Step 2
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.
3. Step 3
Place frozen salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the prepared rack. Cover and close the vent.
4. Step 4
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.
5. Step 5
Check salmon for desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the pot to keep salmon warm until serving.
6. Recipe Tips
You can add optional toppings — like pesto sauce, butter, seasoned salt, or sweet barbecue sauce — to season the salmon fillets.
The cook time is for 1-inch-thick fillets; add 1 to 3 more minutes for thicker fillets.
