Notes about this recipe

I don’t know exactly what I did wrong, but this came out with very burnt sugar and overcooked salmon. Should try again given how other commenters loved it.

Really good! Following some of the comments, I reduced the sugar and fish sauce, and increased the liquid a bit to avoid instant pot burn. I also had to improvise: my remaining lime had already been zested, so I cut up a tangerine peel from my lunch; juiced the whole lime and scraped in the remaining pulp as well. My husband said it is now one of his favorite salmon dishes.

I agree with luluinphilly. Everything is perfect except it’s too salty. will sub some of the fish sauce for H2O.

This is such a quick meal and yields a complex, beautiful dish. I have found it to be verging on the edge of overly salted, so I sub one tablespoon of water for one of the tablespoons of fish sauce. (The recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of fish sauce )

This has become my favorite salmon recipe. So simple and quick and yet I don't overcook it like I often do, with fish. I've served it to many guests, too. I usually go heavy on the sauce ingredients but light on the brown sugar.

Quick and easy; decent.
