Cooking Tilapia In Instant Pot Food

INSTANT POT TILAPIA WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Wash and pat dry tilapia fillets and cut lengthwise each fillet.
• In a medium bowl, mix tilapia fillet with dried basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
• Add a cup of water to the instant pot and place the trivet. Add the marinated tilapia fillets over the trivet and close the instant pot lid. Switch on the "Pressure cook/ Manual mode" at high and set timer for 3 minutes. Turn the pressure knob to sealing position.
• Once cooking is done, quickly release pressure by carefully turning the knob to 'vent' position. Once all the pressure was released, carefully remove the lid.
• Add the sliced vegetables such as broccoli florets, zucchini, yellow squash, and carrots over the cooked tilapia fillets. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt. Close and secure the instant pot lid again to its position and turn the pressure knob to sealing position. Pressure cook for '0' minutes.
• Once cooked, quick release the pressure by carefully turning the knob to 'vent' position. Remove the instant pot lid and carefully transfer the cooked vegetables and tilapia fillets into a serving plate.
• Serve the tilapia fillets, cooked vegetables along with your favorite sides or sauce.

INSTANT POT TILAPIA

Steps:

• Put your sliced vegetables into the bottom of your pot, then place a trivet on top of them so it sits flat on bottom.
• Place fish fillets on trivet. Pour your broth or water on top of the fish so it drains down on top of everything. Mix spices together and sprinkle over the top of each piece so they're seasoned. Can sprinkle fresh parsley on top too if you wish.
• Put 1 tbsp of butter on top of each fillet. Close lid and steam valve and set to high pressure for 8 minutes. Then do a quick release when done.
• Lift out trivet and serve fish on plates with sides of veggies. Season again with a pinch of salt and pepper if you wish, according to taste.
