Diana Moutsopoulos Recipe ~ Instant Pot® Honey-Mustard Salmon from Frozen

Frozen salmon fillets are so economical, but I often forget to defrost them! This recipe calls for adding frozen salmon fillets directly to your Instant Pot® for a perfectly cooked fillet in mere minutes. I finish the salmon under the broiler for just 2 minutes with a honey-mustard glaze on top. Delicious!

Ingredients

• 2 (6 ounce) fillets frozen salmon fillets
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup water, or as needed
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
• 2 teaspoons olive oil

Cooking Directions

1. Season frozen salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place a trivet inside a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and pour in 1 cup of water, ensuring the water does not cover the trivet. Place fillets skin-side down on the trivet in a single layer.
2. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 4 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
3. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions immediately after cooking time is over, about 5 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, mix together honey, mustard, and olive oil in a small bowl.
5. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Unlock and remove the Instant Pot® lid. Carefully transfer cooked fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Spread 1/2 of the honey-mustard glaze over each fillet.
7. Broil salmon fillets for 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
