Ingredients

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Cooking Spray
  • 5 thawed cubes of Dorot Gardens Chopped Dill, divided
  • 1 tsp. butter, melted
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 2 skin-on salmon fillets
  • 1 Large Lemon, divided
  • 8 large asparagus spears
  • 3/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
  • 1  tsp. table salt
  • 1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
  • cooked rice

Instructions

  1. Place trivet in Instant Pot and pour in chicken broth. Spray the trivet with cooking spray or place a piece of parchment paper on top.
  2. In a small bowl mix together three melted Dorot Gardens chopped dill cubes with butter, garlic and a dash of salt and pepper.

  3. Spoon dill mixture over salmon and place skin side down in the IP. Place a lemon slice on top of salmon.

  4. Add asparagus to IP and put the lid on. Close the valve and select steam for 3 minutes.

Creamy Dill Sauce

  1. While salmon cooks make the creamy dill sauce by placing the yogurt in a small bowl. Add remaining Dorot Gardens chopped dill,  lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until creamy and thoroughly combined. Set aside.

  2. When IP beeps, release pressure using quick pressure release method. Do not allow natural release or the salmon and veggies will overcook.
  3. To serve, remove the trivet then remove the salmon so it doesn't fall apart. Place the salmon over cooked rice with asparagus and top with creamy dill sauce; serve immediately.
