Pour cold water and lemon juice into a pressure cooker (like an Instant Pot). Insert a steamer rack and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Place frozen salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto the prepared steamer rack. Secure the lid and close the vent.

Set the cooker to the Steam function and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method as per the manufacturer's guide, which should take about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

Check the salmon for your preferred level of doneness. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the pot to keep the salmon warm until ready to serve.

Cooking Tips
Feel free to add optional toppings like pesto, butter, seasoned salt, or sweet barbecue sauce to enhance the flavor of the salmon fillets.
The cooking time is based on 1-inch thick fillets; for thicker fillets, add an extra 1 to 3 minutes of cooking time.
