Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. butter room temperature
  • 1 tsp. fresh dill finely chopped
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • 1 lb. salmon
  • 1 lemon thinly sliced
  • 3 thyme sprigs
  • 1 fresh dill sprig

Instructions

  • Add butter, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to small mixing bowl. Mix well to combine. Using a rubber spatula will help collect all the butter for you.
  • Cut salmon into portion sizes of your choice. Place dollops of butter compound all around top of salmon pieces. Spread out as much as possible.
  • Add one cup of water to pressure cooker, along with a few sprigs of thyme and/or dill. Place half of the salmon on standard trivet and insert into pot. Sprinkle with more pepper, if you like. Top salmon pieces with 2 thin slices of lemon.
  • Place second half of the salmon on a 3-inch trivet and insert into pot. Again, sprinkle with more pepper, if you like. Once again, top salmon pieces with 2 thin slices of lemon. 
  • Lock lid and cook at high pressure for 3 minutes. Once cook time is complete, quick-release pressure. Remove lid and serve immediately.
