Instructions
- Thinly slice 1/2 medium lemon. Cut 1 tbsp unsalted butter into 4 pieces. Season 12 ounces skin-on salmon fillets with 1/4 tsp kosher salt.
- Fit a steamer basket into a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker. The one that came with the pressure cooker or just a generic folding steamer basket will both work. Pour in 1 cup water. Place the salmon skin-side down in the basket in a single layer. Top with the butter and lemon slices.
- Lock the lid on and make sure the pressure valve is set to seal. Set to cook under HIGH pressure for 5 minutes. It will take about 6 minutes to come up to pressure. When the cook time is up, quick release the pressure. Serve immediately.
