Haddock Instant Pot Food

INSTANT POT FISH (FROZEN COD)

Steps:

• Rinse the fish under cold water to deglaze, this step is optional. If using more than 1 frozen fish, make sure the fish are separated and not clumped together.
• Place the trivet in the instant pot and add 1 cup of water. I used 6qt IP DUO, If you are using 8qt instant pot, use the minimum water required which is 2 cups.
• Add the frozen cod fish and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Cover the lid of your instant pot securely then turn the valve to the sealing position. Select manual or pressure cook and cook on high pressure for 2 minutes then carefully do a quick release.NOTE: If the thickness of your frozen cod fillet is more than ½ an inch, you can increase the cooking time to 3 or 4 minutes. 2 minutes has always worked for me, Alternatively, let the instant pot come to natural pressure for another 5 minutes after 2 minutes on high pressure
• Serve with lemon wedge, melted butter and chopped dill or parsley sauce

HADDOCK WITH SPINACH AND RICE

Steps:

• Set out the fish on the kitchen counter to defrost and proceed with the steps listed below. By the time you gather all the ingredients and get to to the fish, it should be somewhat defrosted and ready for you.
• Rinse the rice well and drain. Place the rice, water, salt, and oil in the inner liner of the instant pot and stir to mix.
• Cut 4 pieces of aluminum foil large enough to hold and wrap the fish in a pocket. Divide the spinach evenly between the four sheets. Place the fish on top. Drizzle oil, salt and pepper on top of the fish and close each packet. Close up the packets of foil into long rectangles, ensuring the packages will not leak (otherwise your rice is going to taste entirely too fishy).
• Place a steamer rack on top of the rice. Place the aluminum packets of spinach and fish on the steamer rack in one layer.
• Cook for 4 Minutes high pressure.
• Allow it to release pressure naturally for 10 mins and then release all remaining pressure.
• For the Sauce: While the rice and fish cook, mix together the mayonnaise, garlic and lemon juice and let it rest.
• To serve, divide the rice into four bowls. Spoon the spinach and fish from each packet onto the rice, pouring any juice in the package on the rice, and drizzle with the sauce, if using. Or you know, let everyone get their own fish-you've already done the cooking for them!
