Instant Pot® Salmon

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

"If you are looking for a quick and simple way to make salmon, this is it," says Maryscookin. "I love my Instant Pot. I can put frozen salmon in, pressure it for 5 minutes and it's perfect. I seasoned mine with just salt and pepper, but sprinkled it on before cooking. I served the salmon with tarter sauce, seasoned green beans and short grained brown rice -- easy peasy!" Or try it topped with fresh pesto sauce.

Instant Pot® Butternut Squash and Pear Soup

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Fresh pears add a touch of sweetness in this quick squash soup. "Peeling and chopping butternut squash can be quite a chore, but not using this method," says France C. "By precooking the squash in your Instant Pot®, the skin will slip right off, allowing you to make this quick and flavorful soup in just minutes! The pears add just the perfect amount of sweetness with no need to add in extra sugar. Garnish with a light drizzle of cream to serve."

Instant Pot® Buckwheat Minestra

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Buckwheat and lentils combine with potatoes, zucchini, and green beans, aromatic veggies, and vegetable broth. Add a little hummus and sambal oelek at the end. "I make this vegan soup at least 3 times a month," says Buckwheat Queen. "We love it that much. During fall and winter, I use pumpkin or butternut squash. In the summer, I use green zucchini. I add lots of flavorful ingredients, so we never add salt."

Instant Pot Chicken Soup

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

"A simple chicken soup recipe made in an Instant Pot," says Shelly Exel-Miles. "I do not add noodles to mine, however, if you wanted to add noodles, I would release pressure after about 10 minutes instead of naturally, add the noodles, and set on Manual for 3 to 5 minutes. I use all organic produce."

Instant Pot® Khichdi

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Here's an Indian classic featuring two types of legumes, brown basmati rice, and goda masala. "Goda masala is a coconut-based seasoning, which gives this dish a fragrant and tasty edge," says Buckwheat Queen. "Khichdi is easy to digest, so it is nice for detox or when you want something light. Leftovers warm up nicely with a touch of water. This is a simple recipe; some cooks like to add vegetables to the saute."

So simple and quick! "Cook these foolproof steamed artichokes in just minutes in your Instant Pot," says Fioa. Enjoy your tender artichokes hot or cold.
