  1. I am a complete fish novice (and without access to a grill). If I were to bake this — or even better, put it in the instant pot — how would the cooking experience/time/prep change?

    1. Hi Bethany! We have not yet tested this recipe in the Instant pot, so I can’t give you the best method for cooking it in the IP. However, depending on what model you have, you may see a Steam icon. You could try to first steam the fish then end in a saute for a minute or two to brown. Let us know how it works for you.
