Easy Pressure Cooker Recipe for Cooking Fresh Fish

An Easy and Delicious Idea for Cooking Your Catch

Amy Solovay
My husband and I enjoy fishing, and then cooking our catch in the galley of our sailboat. I'm delighted to share our latest fresh fish recipe with you; this is an easy pressure cooker recipe that will work with just about any type of fresh fish.

This Morning's Fishing Adventure

This morning, we were trolling off the deck of our sailboat. We were moving at less than 5 knots, which is typical for our sailboat; she's not the fastest boat in the water by any means. My husband was fishing with his new diamond jig, and it turned out to be a productive choice; he caught several fish as we sailed.

Our Approach to Cooking Fresh Fish

My husband and I don't usually follow recipes when we cook our catch; we just peek into the icebox and start grabbing stuff that looks like it would cook up well with whatever fish it was that we caught that day. Today's cooking experiment turned out unusually well - so well, in fact, that I thought it would be a good idea to write down the recipe and cooking instructions for sharing with you.

This is a super-easy recipe; the hardest part about the whole thing is catching the fish. If you can accomplish that, the rest is a piece of cake!

Since we did all of our cooking for this meal in the galley of our sailboat, we used a pressure cooker to minimize fuel consumption.

Ingredients

For each fish you're preparing, use the following:

1 Tablespoon organic butter
¼ of a large organic lemon
¼ of a large organic red onion
1 Tablespoon of Bragg's Healthy Vinaigrette
Optional: Salt to taste
Optional: Garlic to taste -- keep in mind that there is already garlic in the Bragg's Healthy vinaigrette, but if you really like garlic you might want to add more.

This recipe is suitable for small fish; if you caught a medium or large fish, you can double or triple the non-fish ingredients in the recipe if you like.

Preparation Instructions

Filet the fish and put it in the pressure cooker.

Cut the butter into small pieces, and add it to the pressure cooker.

Pour the vinaigrette over top of the fish filet.

Chop the red onion and sprinkle it over top of the fish filet.

Add salt and garlic if desired.

Cooking Instructions

Cooking time could vary greatly, depending on your galley setup, your pressure cooker, and the fuel you are using. We cooked our fish for about 20 minutes; cook yours until the fish is done to your satisfaction.

Enjoy!
