Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 cup cold water
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• nonstick cooking spray
• 4 (4 ounce) frozen salmon fillets
• 4 brioche buns, halved
• 1 cup loosely packed arugula, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 2

For aioli, stir together mayonnaise, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.

Step 3

Add water and remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice to a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Put a steamer rack inside and spray with cooking spray. Arrange salmon fillets, skin sides down, on the prepared rack (fillets may overlap slightly).

Step 4

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Salmon should flake easily with a fork.

Step 5

Sprinkle salmon with remaining salt and pepper. Spread cut sides of buns with aioli. Serve salmon in buns with arugula.
