This Instant Pot Fish and Potatoes in Tomato Sauce with Olives is super easy and tasty.
The hardest part is going to be slicing the potatoes and opening the tin of chopped tomatoes.

I used cod but any white fish will be fine and yes, you can use frozen fish too.

Instant Pot Fish and Potatoes in Tomato Sauce with Olives
Ingredients
350 g potatoes about half a cm to 1 cm slices. New potatoes work well but floury ones will be lovely too and, as they tend to disintegrate a bit, they will thicken the sauce. You don’t have to be too accurate about the exact weight of the potatoes
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp vegetable stock paste
2 cod fillets (or any white fish)
Juice of half a lemon
10 green pimento stuffed olives, more if you want of course or none if you don’t like olives
200 g chopped tomatoes
Black pepper, freshly ground
Soy sauce, a good drizzle
To serve
Lemon wedges
Parsley freshly chopped
Instructions
1.
Pour 250 ml water into the inner pot.
2.
Create a layer of sliced potatoes at the bottom of the inner pot.
3.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sea salt (optional) and 1 tsp of my vegetable stock paste.
4.
Top with two cod fillets.
5.
Drizzle with the juice of half a lemon.
6.
Add about 10 green pimento stuffed olives.
7.
Top with 200 g chopped tomatoes (do not stir!).
8.
A few twists of black pepper and a good drizzle of soy sauce. Do not stir.
9.
Lock the lid in after making sure that the sealing ring is properly in place by pressing it down following its circumference a few times. Steam release handle pointing to Sealing.
10.
Press the Manual / Pressure Cook button and use the – and + buttons to programme 3 minutes. At the end of the cooking time wait 3 minutes and do a quick pressure release*.
11.
Serve with lemon wedges and freshly chopped parsley

Notes
Making this for Tea tonight. Nice and light on this but weather.
Serving with lots of buttery spinach and a glass of wine.
Thank you Maria once again for a brill recipe. X
How was it Cath?
Any changes in timings if you use frozen fish?
Same timings with frozen fish
Did you use fresh or tinned tomatoes?
Made this tonight. Really liked it. I would say keep the potato slices under 0.5cm because mine were slightly undercooked (I did have a triple layer of them as well though!). Also, didn’t have olives to hand and think they would definitely add to the meal.
Overall, really easy, quick and healthy. Will definitely make it again. Thanks!
We really enjoyed this recipe, used tinned toms with chilli and added garlic and a knob of butter at the end to add unctuousness.
