Ingredients

  • A dash of vegetable oil to start the sizzle
  • A hint of sesame oil for a touch of Asian flair
  • Fragrant diced onion to add depth
  • Vibrant green onions, both white and green parts, for a burst of color
  • A sprinkle of garlic powder for a punch of flavor
  • Freshly diced tomato to bring a juicy element
  • Savory fish sauce for that umami kick
  • A pour of vegetable broth to create a flavorful base
  • A generous serving of boneless salmon side to make it hearty
  • Creamy coconut milk for a touch of richness
  • Fresh broccoli florets for a pop of green
  • Chopped kale for added texture and nutrients
  • A pinch of salt to enhance the flavors
  • A dash of ground black pepper for a hint of spice

Step 1

Start by activating the Saute function on your multi-functional pressure cooker like the Instant Pot®. Heat up a mixture of vegetable oil and aromatic sesame oil in the pot. Toss in flavorful onion and vibrant green onions, letting them sizzle for a minute. Introduce garlic powder for an extra layer of taste, letting it infuse for another minute. Stir in juicy diced tomatoes and a splash of fish sauce, letting the flavors meld together for about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Next, pour in vegetable broth and carefully nestle your salmon on top of the fragrant liquid and veggies. After deactivating the Saute mode, seal the lid and set the cooker to high pressure as per the manufacturer's guidelines. Time it for a quick 5-minute cook, allowing some extra minutes for pressure buildup.

Step 3

Once done, perform a natural-release method, patiently waiting for the pressure to subside. Unlock the lid and pour in creamy coconut milk, followed by vibrant broccoli and leafy kale. Gently move the veggies around the salmon, taking care not to disturb the perfectly cooked fish. Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper before sealing the lid and setting the vent to the "Sealing" position.

Step 4

Switch to the Steam function and steam the dish for a quick 2 minutes. Finally, release the remaining pressure by turning the vent to "Venting" and unveil your deliciously cooked and fragrant creation.
