Notes

  • Place the salmon skin-side down in the Instant Pot. 
  • Don’t overcook the salmon. It should be flakey, not rubbery. 
  • Cooking time may need to be adjusted for thicker pieces of salmon, or if you are using frozen filets. 
  • The cook time listed does not include the time it takes for Instant Pot to come up to pressure or for the pressure to release.
  • Storage – keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 2 days.
  • There are 5 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
