How to Make Mediterranean Fish en Papillote in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Mediterranean Fish en Papillote recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEn papillote\u201d means \u201cin paper\u201d in French.<\/strong> It\u2019s a method of cooking in which you enclose protein or vegetables in a packet made from parchment paper. It\u2019s important that the parchment be well sealed in order to trap the steam inside. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The lemons, tomatoes, and fish will all release liquid as they cook, it releases liquid, which turns to steam in the packet to gently cook the food without it drying out.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\uded1 When you unwrap your packets, there may be liquid in the bottom of the pouch.<\/strong> You can unwrap the fish before plating up if you’re concerned about the mess. (This is especially important if you’re cooking filets that had been frozen!)

Or, you can serve the individual packets at the table, so everyone gets to open their fish to a waft of fragrant and delicious steam.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Making a Parchment Packet for Instant Pot Fish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The key step in this recipe is to seal the cod securely inside a parchment paper packet so no steam escapes during cooking. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

To make parchment packets, cut four rectangles of parchment paper, then follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Place each fillet on one side of a parchment rectangle. <\/li>
  2. Fold the long sides of the parchment over the fillet.<\/li>
  3. Fold the top and bottom inwards until you have a tight packet. <\/li>
  4. Crimp the edges of the parchment paper over itself to seal all the way around. <\/li>
  5. If you\u2019re worried about the packet opening up, tie it closed with kitchen twine. <\/li><\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Can I Use Foil for the Packet?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You can use aluminum foil instead of (or in addition to) the parchment if you like. This will create a tighter seal around your fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you use foil you will need to add an extra few minutes to the pressure cooking time<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
