Welcome to my kitchen! I am Corrie, the blogger behind Corrie Cooks. I run this blog with my wife since 2017, so you can enjoy quick, easy and delicious Instant Pot recipes. Thank you for stopping by 🙂
I’d like to make 4 servings. Should I multiply the ingredients x4?
Yes, exactly.
Do I reduce cook time if using fresh salmon?
You can reduce the cook time to 2-3 minutes for fresh salmon, depending on how you like it cooked.
What exactly is “Persian” rice?
Persian rice is another name to call basmati rice, similar to jasmine rice.
Rice does not need salt?
Of course, you can always add salt and pepper to taste 🙂
I am anxious to try your recipe but am nervous. Why? I made a similar recipe from frozen salmon and basmati rice. The salmon remained raw in the middle and the rice stuck to the bottom. The salmon was placed on the trivet above the rice. I did this twice hoping for different results the second time because I made a few timing and water changes. Should I try yours? Thanks!!!
I made this recipe a few times when I was looking for a quick one-pot meal. So it should work for you too ^_^
This turned out delicious!
I had a package of fresh salmon pieces and used it, cut the time down to 3 minutes and did a release after about 3 minutes. I added a touch more water and threw in some yellow pepper chunks and cut the olive oil back in the sauce. I poured the sauce over everything in the Instant Pot & wonderful! 😉
Mmm sounds so good, making me hungry! Thanks for these tips!
Thanks for the awesome recipe! I also didn’t have brown sugar, so I used honey like the other guy suggested. I had sesame and olive oil. I used the sesame with honey for the salmon.
No rice wine so I used apple cider vinegar. I didn’t have soy sauce either so I used Oyster sauce. It tasted awesome! I had a picky eater rave about it too ! So thanks again. I did have to tweak the water and pressure cook for 8 minutes total because I used 2 pieces of salmon that were 4oz each.
Sounds like a great upgrade for this recipe :] Glad you like it!!
Will basmati rice work with the same timing and water?
Yes it is 🙂
thanks for your this recipe of salmon and rice with broccoli. good job. keep it up in future.
Glad you like it ^_^
Thanks for your nice response 🙂
Didnt have brown sugar, so I substituted Honey. Also did not have seasame, I just used Olive oil.
If you do not have rice wine, I used apple cider vinegar. And if you dont have soy sauce, I used worschester sauce. It tasted awesome!
Hi Tyler,
Awesome, thank you for all these great suggestions 🙂
Did exactly this - it’s delicious!!
Very nice flavor!
I let the pressure release naturally for six minutes.
Hi Matt!

No mention of adding the vinegar or how much.
