Follow The Directions

01

Step

Season frozen salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper. Place a trivet inside the Instant Pot and pour in 1 cup of water, ensuring the water level remains below the trivet. Arrange the seasoned salmon fillets on the trivet, skin-side down. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Close and lock the Instant Pot lid. Select the high-pressure setting and set the timer for 4 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build inside the pot. (15 minutes)

03

Step

Once the cooking time is complete, carefully perform a quick pressure release according to the manufacturer's instructions. This should take approximately 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

04

Step

While the salmon is cooking, prepare the honey-mustard glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, whole-grain mustard, and olive oil until well combined. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully remove the cooked salmon fillets from the Instant Pot and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Evenly spread half of the honey-mustard glaze over each fillet. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Broil the salmon fillets for approximately 2 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Serve immediately and enjoy! (2 minutes)

For best results, use high-quality, skin-on salmon fillets. The skin helps to protect the flesh from drying out during cooking.
Adjust the broiling time according to your oven. Keep a close eye on the salmon to prevent burning.
Feel free to experiment with different types of mustard. Dijon mustard or a spicy brown mustard would also work well in this recipe.
Serve this salmon with a side of roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a simple green salad for a complete and healthy meal.
