INSTANT POT SOY-GINGER SALMON
Frozen salmon will cook very quickly and beautifully in the Instant Pot®. We took advantage of the pressure-cooker function, which can infuse so much flavor, by adding savory ingredients like soy sauce and lime. Make note that fattier, thicker fish fillets (preferably center cut) hold up to pressure cooking best.

Steps:
- Add the soy sauce, lime zest and juice, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger and pepper to the bowl insert of a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot®. Set to high saute for 3 minutes (see Cook's Note), stirring the sauce with a wooden spoon to combine. Add the salmon fillets, turning them to coat with the sauce (it's fine it they overlap).
- Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on low for 1 minute. After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 2 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Check one fillet for doneness by gently cutting into it. If you prefer your salmon more well done, cook for another minute using the high saute setting.
- Carefully transfer the salmon fillets to a serving platter using a metal spatula. Set the pot to high saute for 3 minutes and reduce the sauce until syrupy, stirring frequently. Spoon the sauce onto the salmon fillets. Top with the scallions and cilantro and serve with the rice and lime wedges.
HONEY SOY GLAZED SALMON RECIPE BY TASTY
Two words: honey salmon! Sure, it takes a tiny bit of prep work, but once you marinate your salmon, you won't be able to go back. A simple mix of honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger coats and flavors your fish for 30 minutes before you throw it on the pan until the outside is perfectly crispy. Once that's done, you heat up and reduce some extra marinade to make a thick, to-die-for glaze to pour over your filet. Serve with your favorite veggies or rice and enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose a fresh, high-quality salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is firm to the touch and has a bright pink color.
- If you don't have a bamboo steamer, you can use a colander or a metal steamer basket instead. Just make sure that the steamer is large enough to fit the salmon fillet.
- To make the soy-ginger sauce, you can use either light or dark soy sauce. Dark soy sauce has a richer flavor, so if you want a more intense sauce, use dark soy sauce.
- To make the sauce thicker, you can add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix together equal parts cornstarch and water until a smooth paste forms. Then, stir the slurry into the sauce and cook until thickened.
- Serve the braised salmon with steamed rice, vegetables, or your favorite side dish.
Conclusion:
Braised salmon with soy-ginger sauce is a healthy and delicious dish that can be easily made at home. The salmon is cooked until it is tender and flaky, and the soy-ginger sauce is flavorful and aromatic. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
