Delicious perfectly cooked instant pot whole fish. Using black tilapia along with sliced lemon, sliced garlic, and fresh herbs, this is fantastic for an easy Mediterranean lunch in the instant pot.
Check that your whole fish has clear eyes, has been gutted and scaled.
Cut off the fins with a pair of scissors.
Then fill the fish with your lemon slices, garlic slices and fresh herbs. You can do as many as will fit in the fish.

Place a cup of water into your instant pot, then add your trivet. Place the whole fish on the trivet and then place the lid on the instant pot and set the valve to sealing.
Pressure cook your whole fish for 10 minutes, followed by a 5 minute natural pressure release. Then after releasing pressure, remove the fish and tuck in.
