Instant Pot Wild Alaskan Cod

Main Dish

Deliciously easy Instant Pot Wild Alaskan Cod, that cooks up easily in ten minutes or less for a healthy, no fuss meal perfect for a busy night!

Instant Pot Wild Alaskan Cod

Who doesn’t love a really good, healthy meal? I think we can all agree that having a delicious dinner on the table in minutes is our goal.

If you’ve spent any time in the kitchen lately, you may have heard of the ever infamous Instant Pot.  I have had mine for over five years and it has been the best appliance purchase by far.

An Instant Pot (or, electric pressure cooker) is much better than having the one that sits on the stove. A stovetop pressure cooker scares me. As a result, my stovetop pressure cooker now has a permanent home: my garage, until someone wants to take it off my hands.

Instant Pot Wild Alaskan Cod

Cooking fish in the Instant Pot is rather easy. Add your cup of water (for the steam), then your trivet, then lay your foil on the trivet, or opt for a baking dish and set that directly on the trivet.  Lock the lid, seal the valve, and push manual (high pressure) for 5-9 minutes. 

Cooking Guide:

  • Frozen fillets: 9 minutes on high pressure
  • Thawed fillets: 4-5 minutes on high pressure

I can’t stress enough though.. the importance of picking up quality seafood – stay away from farmed seafood.

For a change of pace, you can curl up the ends of the foil on the trivet and put 1 C of cherry tomatoes down. Then, top with your cod and cook as noted. So good! Or, top your Wild Alaskan Cod with Cherry Confit – delicious!

      I have! 🙂 There have been a few times that, in a rush to make something, I never took out the fish to thaw. In that case, throw the fish in there (Frozen) for 8-9 minutes. I usually go for 8 minutes (Mahi Mahi, Cod) and then after 8 minutes, once it beeps I just peek real fast to see if it is fine.. and if not, i’ll add an additional “1” minute. But usually 8 minutes is perfect.

    This cod is fantastic. I served it up to a few guests the other night and they all were raving about it! Even had a bit left over for my little lion, who also enjoyed it very much!

    Thanks for posting your great recipe. I tried your recipe with tilapia from the local market and added a handful of capers. So simple and tasty.

      Sounds so good! Fish is so easy to make in the IP — all of those white fish varieties are just a few simple minutes and they make a wonderful healthy dinner. I love tilapia – sounds like you had a great dinner!

    Would it make much of a difference if you didn’t use the glass dish?

      You can make it without, too 🙂 We didn’t have any foil at the time, hence why I used a glass dish.

      If you have foil, just lay a large piece on the trivet and then lay your cod directly on there. It makes clean up a breeze – when it’s done, put the cod on plates, and then fold the foil up and discard.

    Can you layer the frozen fish? I made the recipe using 3 tilapia fillets which covered the foil but barely tips overlapping. I made it in 2 separate batches but would prefer in one if possible.

    Perfect! Never thought to just throw some foil on the trivet. Olive oil, cayenne, parsley, sliced tomato.
    I gave it a few extra min NR since the cod was thick. But maybe that’s normal.
    Thanks. Glad I found you.

    Have you ever tried cooking salted cod? in the instant pot?

    I ordered fresh cod and they delivered salted. I’ve done the 24 hour rinsing thing before when I bought salted cod intentionally, but used to then bake it or pan fry it.

    Love to try it in the instant pot.

      I have not tried.. but I don’t think it would be much different. Is it very very salty? It should be quite similar to cooking regular cod in the IP.
