How to Make Fish Stew
Fire up that Instant Pot—it’s time for dinner! Get ready for a flavorful seafood feast. Start by pressing SAUTE on your Instant Pot, add some olive oil and get those onions and garlic sizzling. Once they’ve had their chance to cook down nicely, add sliced green bell peppers and diced potatoes so everything can start getting cozy together. Let that cook another three minutes or so.
Pour in salt-free crushed tomatoes, seafood broth, plus any seasonings that strike your fancy. We use a combination of cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Seal it all off with the lid, then set it MANUAL style for 10 minutes. After that time’s passed, get ready because dinner is nearly done! Once finished, let it naturally release for 10 minutes and then fully release.
Move back to SAUTE mode again before tossing spinach leaves into the pot followed quickly by whatever type of fish you prefer. We use cod filets in our recipe. Let those last eight minutes fly as your meal takes shape beneath its bubbly golden surface until almost too delicious not try at least one spoonful right now (don’t worry; we won’t tell).
Finally stir in some creamy coconut milk—perfection awaits just around this tasty corner. Top it all off with fresh parsley and a drizzle of lime juice, then dive on and savor every morsel.
