Instant Pot Tilapia with Veggies
Instant Pot Tilapia with Veggies is another “Elli’s One Pot and Done” recipes.
Easy to prepare and goes from IP to plate in less than 30 minutes.
- 1 16 oz package Frozen Tilapia (You can put it in thawed or frozen (add 2 minutes cooking time if frozen))
- 1 Package Spiralized Vegetables (I used spiralized Yellow, Green, and Butternut Squash but feel free to use any veggies you like!)
- 1 Onion Sweet Vidalia Onion, sliced
- 1 Pepper Green, Red, Yellow Pepper (Your choice or use all 3!)
- 1 14 oz Can Diced Tomatoes (No Salt Added) (whole can with the juice)
- 1/2 tub Achla Madbucha (or you can use Salsa)
- 1/2 cup water (used to make the IP come to pressure)
- 1/2 tsp each Salt, Pepper, McCormack No Salt Garlic & Herb, Badia Sazon (or any combination of spices that you like)
-
Note: Tilapia is added at the end before cooking
-
Slice your vegetables and place in the bottom of a 3 qt Instant Pot (that’s what I used for this recipe. If you want more, just double the recipe and use a larger IP)
-
Add the Diced tomatoes (juice too)
-
Add the Madbucha or Salsa
-
Add the Water
-
Season the vegetables as per ingredients above
-
Place a metal or Silicone Trivet on top of the vegetables and press down.
-
Place the Tilapia (fresh or frozen) on the trivet.
Note: It’s ok to stack or overlap the fish. I place one each way stacked.
-
Season the TIlapia
-
Close and seal the IP lid and vent (to the closed position).
-
Set to Manual Pressure for 8 minutes if using fresh or defrosted – 10 if frozen.
-
When the IP beeps that it’s done, do a QR (Quick Release), and open the IP
-
Being VERY careful (it’s REALLY HOT) remove the Trivet and place on a plate to drain.
-
Using a slotted spoon, take out the veggies and plate.
-
Set a piece (or two!) of Tilapia on top of the vegetables.
-
Let it cool a minute or two before eating.
-
ENJOY! ENJOY! ENJOY!
