Back in 2019, we’ve seen a great deal of fear on social networks concerning how to cook frozen salmon fillets in an Instant Pot. And no wonder!

The fillets can be overcooked instantly. We locate the most effective strategy is to steam them on a rack since they don’t being in the liquid (which can break them apart, specifically during the angry boil inside the pot when the pressure is released).

Our timing right here is for medium-rare to tool salmon fillets. If you like them cooked more thoroughly, include 1 min to the timing for either limit or the HIGH setting.

But note: The dimension of these salmon fillets (6 ounces each) is very vital for the timing provided; see the Beyond if you have bigger fillets.
