Instructions

Let's Season the Salmon:

Rinse the salmon portions and dry thoroughly with paper towel. Rub the salmons portions with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
Rub the grey poupon mustard all over the salmon (about 1 teaspoon per salmon)
Season the salmon portions with 1 teaspoon of the salt, 1/2 teaspoon of the smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon each of the fresh ground black pepper and cayenne pepper.
Note: Reserve the remaining spices for the vegetables.
Place the seasoned salmon portions onto the instant pot rack (this rack usually comes with the instant pot).

Let's get all the ingredients into the instant pot: I use a 6 quart instant pot.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in the stainless steal instant pot insert.
Add in the potatoes and tomatoes. Add in the shallots, garlic and the remaining dill and oregano.
Add in the remaining spices, capers and wine.
Squeeze in the juice from 1/2 of the lemon.
Use a spoon to mix it all together.
Place the rack insert with the salmon on top of the vegetables.
Squeeze the juice from the remaining half a lemon all over the salmon fillets.
Close the instant pot with it's pressure lid, making sure the pressure release valve is up. (usually automatic).
Turn on the pressure cooker setting on high. And set the time to 3 minutes.
The pot will begin to pressurize in a few seconds. It will take 10 to 15 minutes to pressurize and then the 3 minute timer will start to count down the cooking.
When the 3 minute cook time is up, immediately depressurize the pot by pressing down the steam release valve. Once the steam has been released. remove the cover.
Carefully remove the rack with the salmon. Place it on a large plate.
Turn on the saute setting on the instant pot. (You may need to first turn off the pot and then turn on the saute setting).
Cook the potatoes mixture and broth for 3 to 5 minutes until the liquid reduces to your liking. Turn off the instant pot.
Note: I cooked down my broth for about 3 minutes.
Plate and serve the potatoes with the salmon and some of the gravy. Enjoy!
