What type of fish can I use for this PSMF recipe?

Haddock, red snapper, halibut, and sea bass can be substituted for the cod as long as the fillets are about 1 inch thick. If the fillets are uneven or are thinner, fold the thinner ends under when placing the fillets in the pan.

Can I bake this in the oven instead?

Yes. Bake this PSMF fish recipe in an 8 x 8 dish following the same directions in the recipe card. Bake, covering the dish with aluminum foil, in the oven on the middle rack for 12-14 minutes. Remove the fish and follow the remaining directions on the recipe card.

How do I know when fish is fully cooked?

Fully cooked fish should flake easily. If you have an instant read thermometer, the internal temperature should be 125-130 degrees F.

If your fish turned out dry, it is most likely due to the fact that you over-baked your fish.

What if I open my pressure cooker and the fish is not fully cooked?

No problem! Simply press your "saute" button on "hi" and heat the sauce and the fish until the fish is fully cooked.

3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/3 cup soy sauce

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Turn your pressure cooker on "saute". In the pot, add approximately all but 1/4 cup of the sliced scallions (reserving the remaining 1/4 cup of scallions for topping after the fish has been cooked), ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sweetener, salt and pepper. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients.
Place the fish fillets over the top of the sauce, allowing the scallions to slightly lift the fish off the bottom of the pot.
Seal your pressure cooker and set the cooker on "hi" for 2 minutes. Once down, manually realease the pressure.
Carefully, using a spatula so that the fish does not break, set the fish on a serving platter and tent with aluminum foil.
Switch your pressure cooker to "saute - hi" and cook the sauce until it just comes to a boil and begins to thicken, about 1-3 minutes.
Pour the sauce over the fish and top the fish with the cilantro and leftover scallions. Serve immediately, using a spoon to drizzle leftover sauce over the fish.
