I'm always taken aback by all the knowledge Dr. Rhonda Patrick holds in her head. She digs deep and fleshes out the through tons of research. One of her top recommendations is eating seafood. Unfortunately, I have a seafood intolerance. When I eat it, I begin to get a rash that starts in my arms and depending on how much I eat, it spreads from there. I know many of you in Sweat Nation love seafood, and since I take my role as a wellness curator seriously. I want to help you optimize your health as deliciously as possible, I thought this would be a great recipe. It's quick, delicious, and healthy! Enjoy my seafood Sweat Nation compatriots.

NOTES:
*If your salmon pieces are frozen together, run them underwater until they are able to be separated. Stacking salmon might make it too thick to cook all the way through. *If your salmon is thicker than 1 inch, consider adding an extra minute or two to the cooking time. *If your salmon is extra thin, consider reducing the time by 1 minute *If the salmon is still not cooked all the way through once cook time is up (salmon cuts vary in shape and size), replace the lid and let it sit in the hot IP for a few extra minutes to steam.
