Ingredients
¼cupwater
4frozen white fish filletsabout 3-4 oz. each (we used 2 whole sea bass fillets cut in halves)
Add the water to the Instant Pot. We're only using ¼ cup because the frozen fish will defrost during cooking and give out a lot of liquid.
Place the frozen fish fillets in the water. Add the rest of the ingredients (scatter them around and on top). Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the sea salt and chilli flakes.
Pop and close the lid. Set to Manual/Pressure Cook on HIGH pressure for 4 minutes. After 3 beeps, the Instant Pot will start building up pressure and the cooking will commence. Once the timer goes off, allow 7-8 minutes for the pressure to release naturally and then do the quick release to let off the steam.
Open the lid and use a spatula to carefully remove the fish fillets. Pour the broth and the cooked ingredients over the top and serve. Garnish with a little chopped parsley or basil
Notes
Cooking fresh fish: Add ½ cup water and set to LOW PRESSURE for 5 minutes with 7-8 minutes release.Cooking larger fish fillets: Increase time to 6 minutes on HIGH.
