Ingredients:

  • 1½ lb frozen tilapia fillets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced into rounds

Instructions:

  1. Pour the low-sodium vegetable broth into the inner pot of the Instant Pot and place the steam trivet inside to keep the fish elevated above the liquid.
  2. Lightly brush the frozen tilapia fillets with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp paprika; sprinkle the mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets.
  4. Place the seasoned fillets on the trivet in a single layer, topping each fillet with a slice of lemon.
  5. Close the lid, set the valve to 'Sealing,' select Pressure Cook (High), and set the timer for 3 minutes for standard fillets or 5 minutes for extra-thick fillets.
  6. Perform a Quick Release immediately once the timer beeps to prevent the fish from becoming rubbery.
  7. Carefully lift the fillets out with tongs and let them rest for 2 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish is flaky.
