Recipe Details

Course: Dinner

Difficulty: Easy

Prep Time: 4 min

Cook Time: 6 min

Total Time: less than 15 min

Cooking Technique: Pressure Cook

Cuisine: Asian Flavors, American

Yield: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 medium lime for juice and zest
  • 1 tsp lemongrass paste
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil chiffonade
Although crispy fish can certainly be a treat, poaching it is just as desirable. It results in a moist, tender, and flaky fillet because there is little loss of moisture during the cooking process. Sriracha is the recommended hot sauce for this recipe.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In the Instant Pot, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice and zest, lemongrass paste, hot sauce, and salt. Add salmon and 1/4 cup basil. Lock lid.
  2. Press the Manual or Pressure Cook button and adjust time to 3 minutes. When timer beeps, quick-release pressure until float valve drops. Unlock lid.
  3. Transfer fish and broth to bowls and garnish with remaining basil. Serve warm.
