Instant Pot Mediterranean Rosemary Salmon Recipe
Your Instant Pot has never been healthier with this Instant Pot mediterranean rosemary salmon recipe!
Many of you know that I recently joined the throngs of humans who have purchased an Instant Pot (IP) (affiliate link) pressure cooker. This IP and I have slowly been getting to know each other. I’ve done one recipe for this blog and one for my low carb blog. Both turned out pretty darn yummy.
But this recipe impressed me the most simply because I didn’t have to spend a day or two defrosting the fish first. It was really pretty incredible. 3 minutes of pressure cooking and I had a beautiful salmon dish made in one pot!
I will say that if you prefer your asparagus with a bit of crunch, it’s probably best to cook it separately. As for me, I’ll eat asparagus any way it comes. So even though it was really well cooked, to me, it was still crazy delicious. If you want to cook the asparagus in your IP, simply steam it separately for about 1 minute. 2 minutes if the stalks are on the thicker side.
At any rate, I enjoyed this for lunch two days in a row and I couldn’t be happier. This IP is great for cooking from frozen in a fraction of the time it takes to cook things regularly. It does take a few minutes for the IP to build up pressure, but once it does, it’s simply 3 minutes of cooking. I had this meal ready in about 15 minutes from frozen. It was amazing!
