Y’all know I’m all about meal prepping in the Instant Pot!

In fact, a huge portion of my weekly meal prepping is done on Sunday afternoons, both of my Instant Pots out on the counter, working for me as handy kitchen assistants.

I actually have an entire post dedicated to meal prepping with your Instant Pot — 6 Instant Pot Meal Preps That’ll Save Your Sanity!

With just one Instant Pot and less than 3 hours of time, you can prep meal components, such as a whole chicken and meat broth, rice, quinoa, or a blended soup. Then, warm these things up throughout the week, pack them in lunches, or use them in other recipes you’re making.

I just adore using my Instant Pots — here’s why I have 2 — for meal prep!

So, when my friend Carrie, from The Clean-Eating Kitchen emailed me about her new book, I couldn’t wait to share it with you!

Carrie, MBA, MPH, shares easy, gluten-free, dairy-free recipes on her site and on her YouTube channel.

Instant Pot Salmon & Veggies with Lemon-Butter Sauce: Instant Pot Meal Prep

This recipe can be made up to 4 days in advance and stored in glass containers (like these).

It makes 5 servings, so just think…

That’s one meal for a family of 5 that’s done and only needs to be warmed up.

For one person, that’s 5 days in a row of individual lunches to take to work or send to school.

For a couple, that’s 2 nights of dinner during the week — with one meal leftover for a lunch or to invite a friend over.

With nourishing, wild-caught salmon and hearty red potatoes and carrots, this Instant Pot Salmon and Veggies is so tasty with a yummy lemon-butter sauce.

The salmon and veggies go in the Instant Pot at the same time, and everything cooks together.

You don’t even have to thaw the salmon filets first! 🙂

So, from The Healthy Meal Prep Instant Pot Cookbook, here’s an awesome Instant Pot meal prep recipe that’s flavorful and simple.
