Instant Pot Coconut Fish Stew
Here’s how to make a delicious Instant Pot Coconut Fish Stew using white fish, coconut milk, and chopped vegetables. This easy and healthy dinner recipe can be made in just 25 minutes.
One of my favorite types of food to cook in the Instant Pot pressure cooker is fish and seafood. The fish always gets cooked perfectly without being overcooked.
If you are new to cooking fish in the Instant Pot, then you’re going to love today’s recipe. I’ve paired meaty Mahi Mahi with flavorful coconut milk and tender vegetables. Served over white rice, brown rice, or cauliflower rice, this is a delicious dinner that you can get on the table in less than 30 minutes.
Recipe Steps
Step One
Decide which type of white fish you want to use in this recipe, and chop two filets into bite-sized pieces. You’ll also need to chop up a couple of bell peppers, and an onion.
Step Two
In the bowl of an Instant Pot pressure cooker, combine the chopped fish and vegetables, along with one can of coconut milk, one cup of vegetable broth, coconut sugar, salt, and pepper.
If you are on a sugar-free, low-carb, or Whole30 diet, just leave out the coconut sugar or use a sugar-free substitute.
Step Three
Next, lock on the lid and set the time to five minutes at high pressure. When the cooking time is complete, use the quick release so the fish doesn’t get overcooked.
Step Four
Carefully remove the lid from the Instant Pot. Stir the ingredients and serve the stew over cooked white rice, brown rice, or sautéed cauliflower rice. I like to make Instant Pot Basmati Rice to go with this dish.
