8 ounces salmon fillet
1/2 lemon
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp real butter

Add all of the ingredients except the water on top of the salmon fillet.
Pour the water in the Instant Pot and hit the sauté button. Let the water boil and hit the clear button.
Place the foil with the salmon on the trivet and lower it into the pot. Close the lid and hit manual, pressure, high, and set the time for 5 minutes.
When the time is finished, release the pressure manually. Remove the foil, drizzle the juices back over the top, and serve.
