Ingredients

  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 4 6 oz sea bass fillets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 1 clove garlic

  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lb red lentils
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
  • In a small bowl, combine Spice Mixture ingredients.

  • Add olive oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.
  • When oil gets hot, add onion to the pot and saute until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and cumin and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
  • Add broth to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Add lentils to the pot and stir to combine.
  • Insert a steam rack or riser, and carefully lower the steamer basket onto the riser.

  • Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 5 minutes.
  • When the time is up, quick-release the pressure. Check the fish for doneness. If it is not quite cooked through close the lid and leave on KEEP WARM for another 3-5 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the steamer basket and riser from the pot. Add lemon juice, 3/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper to the lentils and stir.
