Instant Pot Teriyaki Salmon

This Instant Pot Teriyaki Salmon recipe is so simple, fast...and delicious! You'll want to steam the salmon in a vessel that will fit inside the IP pot. I love using my 7-inch springform pan lined with foil, but small loaf pans, or even a boat made heavy duty foil will work! Serve with steamed veggies and rice for the perfect weeknight meal! In less than 30 minutes! Get the rice ready first, because the fish comes together so quickly!
