Description

Use an Instant Pot to make these easy salmon sandwiches with homemade aioli and fresh arugula, served on brioche buns.

Ingredients

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 pinch salt
1 cup cold water
1/4 cup lemon juice
nonstick cooking spray
4 (4 ounce) frozen salmon fillets
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 brioche buns, halved
1 cup loosely packed arugula, or more to taste

Directions

1 For aioli, stir together mayonnaise, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
2 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).
3 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.
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.
5 Sprinkle salmon with remaining salt and pepper. Spread cut sides of buns with aioli. Serve salmon in buns with arugula.
