1. Wild Alaskan Cod Fish
This classic cod fish recipe uses Wild Alaskan cod fish combined with some simple ingredients to create a classic cooked cod that you can pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or any of your favorite sides.
Ingredients
- Wild Alaskan cod fish fillets (at least 2)
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 lemon, halved
Instructions
- First, you need to place a trivet inside your Instant Pot. This will be used for streaming your fish.
- Pour 1 cup of cold water into the trivet, then place a sheet of aluminum foil onto the trivet.
- Take your Wild Alaskan cod fillets and place them on the trivet. You may need to cut the fillets into several large pieces. Do not overfill the trivet: if you want to cook more cod fish fillets, set them in the fridge and cook in batches.
- Season your cod fish with salt and pepper; you may wish to add more, or use lesser, depending on your personal preferences.
- Then top the cod fillets with your butter. Place the bay leaf on top of the fillets so that it touches both of them.
- Seal your Instant Pot and cook on manual high-pressure setting for 5 minutes of cooking time; increase to 9 minutes of cooking time if you are using frozen cod fish fillets.
- Release the pressure manually and then serve immediately.
