Can Maillard reaction happen by boiling food in conditions that raises water's boiling point (e.g. salted water or high atmospheric pressure)?

Maillard reaction occurs from 140-165 C. A high pressure cooker raises the temperature to 120 -ish C. So using current equipment the answer would be no. You could try using steam at high temperatures to see if you can create the Maillard reaction on food.
