Instant Pot Creamy Salmon Pasta

Step 1

Add frozen salmon filets to your Instant Pot, add the onion, seasonings, cream cheese over it. Add the pasta and pour the broth over it. Do not mix.

Step 2

Close the lid of your Instant Pot and turn the valve to Sealing.

Step 3

Press Manual or Pressure Cooker button (depending on your model) and use the arrows to select 4 minutes. Use default High Pressure. It should take about 10 minutes to come to pressure.

Step 4

Once the Instant Pot beeps that the 4 minutes of cooking are done, do a quick release. This should take another 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Carefully open the lid, you'll see that the top layer of pasta that wasn't under water will be undercooked. It is fine and expected.

Step 6

Add the grated parmesan and mix well, breaking the big pieces of salmon into bite-sized pieces.

Step 7

Add the cream, mix, close the lid and let stand 5 minutes. This will help pasta soften.

Step 8

Add the fresh chopped dill, mix, and serve with extra parmesan if desired.
