Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pound Tilapia Fillets
  • 2 Tablespoon Taco seasoning
  • 1 Cup Mayonaise.
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • Pinch Salt And Pepper Seasonings.
  • 4 Flour Tortillas

Instructions
 

  • First, place your frozen tilapia fillets on top of a sheet of aluminium. Sprinkle each fish fillet with taco seasoning.
  • Seal your foil packet from each side.
  • Place 1 & ½ cups of water in the bottom of your Inner pot. Place the trivet inside your Instant Pot.
  • Place your aluminium foil packet tilapia fillets on top of the trivet.
  • Next, close the Instant Pot Lid. Close the seal by pushing it away from you. Pressure cook your frozen Tilapia fish on high pressure for 18 minutes.
  • While your fish is cooking, make your aïoli sauce. Combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a dash of salt and pepper.
  • Set aside and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Once the time is completed, do a quick pressure release by bringing the valve toward you.
  • Once all the pressure is released remove the lid from your pressure cooker.
  • Shred your tilapia fillets, and place tilapia pieces (taco filling) on your favorite taco shell whether it be a low-carb tortilla, lettuce wrap, flour tortilla, or corn! 
  • Top it with the aïoli sauce, cilantro, and any other toppings you would enjoy on your fish taco such as tomatoes, cabbage slaw, avocado etc!

Notes

  • Pan-Fried Fish Tacos: Want crispy edges? Use the same seasoning and pan-fry tilapia in a bit of oil for 2–3 minutes per side.
  • Air Fryer Fish: Air fry seasoned tilapia at 375°F for 8–10 minutes for a crispy, no-oil option.
