Why This Dish Is So Satisfying

This dish combines the rich flavors of coconut milk with tender salmon, creating a creamy and satisfying meal. Using the Instant Pot® makes it quick and easy, perfect for busy weeknights. It’s a comforting dish that feels special but requires minimal effort.

Cooking Secrets

- Use fresh or thawed salmon for the best texture and flavor.
- Avoid overcooking the salmon by releasing the pressure immediately after cooking.
- Add a squeeze of calamansi or lemon juice at the end to brighten the flavors.

Step 1

Turn on your Instant Pot and setting it to the sauté mode. Heat a bit of vegetable oil along with a splash of sesame oil, then toss in the chopped onion and green onions. Let them cook for about a minute until they soften. Sprinkle in some garlic powder and cook for another minute to bring out the flavor. Next, add the diced tomato and fish sauce, stirring everything together and letting it heat through for a couple of minutes.

Step 2

Pour in the vegetable broth and carefully place the salmon on top of the liquid and veggies. Cancel the sauté function, then close and lock the lid. Set your pot to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. It’ll take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up.

Step 3

Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 10 to 20 minutes—this helps keep the salmon tender. When you can safely open the lid, pour in the coconut milk and add the broccoli and kale. Gently mix the veggies around the salmon without breaking it apart. Season everything with a little salt and pepper.

Step 4

Put the lid back on, seal the vent, and steam the veggies for 2 minutes using the Steam function. When that’s done, carefully release the pressure by switching the vent to “Venting.” Open the lid, give everything a final gentle stir, and your dish is ready to enjoy!

Serving Advice

Serve this creamy salmon over steamed jasmine rice or garlic fried rice to soak up the sauce. A side of sautéed greens or a simple cucumber salad pairs well to balance the richness. Garnish with fresh herbs like chopped cilantro or green onions for extra freshness.

Storing Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave to avoid breaking the salmon apart. Coconut milk-based dishes may thicken when chilled; add a splash of water or broth when reheating to restore creaminess.

Really good flavor but I added a bit too much soy sauce by mistake. Next time will dial it back. Kids still enjoyed it though.
