Instant Pot Salmon with Garlic Potatoes and Greens

 Husband found this recipe for our New Year's Eve dinner. It checked so many boxes -- elegant, easy, delicious, and ONE POT to clean.  Will definately make again.

1 1/4 lb red skinned potatoes, quartered or smaller
4T. butter
4 center cut salmon fillets (5 or 6 oz each)
1/4 t. Paprika
1/2 t. lemon zest
4 cloves of garlic, minced
4c. spinach and arugula mixed
Salt and pepper

Put potoatoes in the bottom of the instant pot, add 1c. water, 2T. butter, season generously with salt and pepper.

Place steamer rack on top of potatoes

Rub salmon fillets with paprika and lemon zest, season with salt and pepper, place salmon on top of the steamer rack. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes, release steam immediately.

Remove the fish and steamer rack, and turn on saute. When the potatoes begin to sizzle, add garlic and stir for about 1 minute. Stir 2T. butter and season with salt and pepper. When potatoes are tender, smash with a wooden spoon. 

Turn off the heat, and stir in spinach and arugula until wilted. Spoon potatoes onto plates, serve salmon on top of  potatoes. Serve with lemon wedges.
