Absolutely love this method for cooking tilapia in instant pot. It can also work with other fish but they're cooking time might be slightly different depending on the thickness of the filet. We got the tilapia from Costco in the frozen section. This recipe works best to thaw the tilapia the night before. You can cook it from Frozen but I don't think it'll be moist and yummy. my kiddo even eats this fish!
Ingredients:
Talapia filet
olive oil
spices I like lemon pepper and salt. C likes some spicier salts.
Add 1.5 cups water to instant pot.
Add trivet with steamer basket on top. Place wax paper into the steamer basket as a liner. This is very important.
Place the tilapia fillets on the wax paper.
Add olive oil - be generous. Add spices that you like to taste.
Place lid on instant pot and cook for 3 minutes at high pressure. Let natural release for 2 minutes and then quick release.
