Step 1

Add the soy sauce, lime zest, lime juice, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and black pepper to the Instant Pot. Set to HIGH SAUTE for 3 minutes, stirring until combined. Add the salmon fillets and turn to coat in the sauce.

Step 2

Secure the lid and cook on LOW pressure for 1 minute. Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow a natural release for 2 minutes before carefully releasing any remaining pressure. Open the lid and check the salmon for doneness.

Step 3

Carefully transfer the salmon fillets to a serving platter. Set the Instant Pot back to HIGH SAUTE for about 3 minutes and simmer the sauce until slightly thickened and syrupy, stirring often.

Step 4

Spoon the sauce over the salmon and top with scallions and cilantro. Serve warm with cooked rice and lime wedges if desired.
