The Instant Pot Bible: Poached Salmon with Horseradish Sauce

The Instant Pot Bible by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough

Cold poached salmon may be summer’s best meal: a make-ahead that’s ready for lunch on the deck or patio whenever the time’s right. Notice that the salmon poaches here at LOW pressure to preserve the meat and keep it from overcooking.

The Kitchen Shortcut Bible_Porcini and Orange Braised Short Ribs_recipe

Skinnytaste Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore

Skinnytaste: Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore_recipe

Since the sauce is hearty and chunky, it’s perfect to make in the slow cooker. While any part of the chicken works great, Gina Homolka prefers to use skinless chicken thighs that are still on the bone. The chicken comes out so juicy and tender, and the bones add flavor to the sauce.
