SAN ANTONIO – Want to make a healthy, restaurant quality meal without the hassle? Bust out your new instant pot and give this recipe a try!
Erin Chase, of $5 Dinners, says, “Lemon and dill are by far my favorite ingredients to use when making salmon. I’ll bake, slow cook, grill, and sauté salmon with lemon and dill. I’ll use lemon slices, or lemon juice, or even lemon essential oil with olive oil.”

Pro tip: Wrap the broccoli in foil and steam it in the instant pot with the salmon for a quick, easy dinner.
