Troubleshooting And Tips For Success
- Make sure your salmon fillets are uniform in size, so they cook evenly. We bought fillets from Costco that were 6 oz. each and roughly the same size.
- Its perfectly OK to use skin-on fillets.
- Make sure the fillets arent overlapping each other, or you may get some under-cooked spots.
- If your salmon is especially large, add an extra minute or two onto the cook time

How To Sear The Tuna Steaks
The fact that the tuna is served medium-rare accounts for its extremely fast cooking time. Just marinate the tuna in a mixture of soy sauce, oil, salt, and pepper ;preferably for at least ten minutes, or overnight.
For a typical ahi tuna steak , sear on each side for about two minutes . I recommend using a nonstick skillet for this, or a very well seasoned;cast iron skillet .
Also, its important to get the pan SEARING hot before adding the fish. You want the outside to cook very quickly, while leaving the inside raw, so it should be as hot as possible before beginning to sear. I usually heat the pan for 3-5 minutes.
Let it rest for a few minutes, slice, and youre ready!

Pressure Cooker Tuna Noodle Casserole
In fact youll love it more because it takes no time at all to make!!
Who doesnt love tuna noodle casserole?; It was a staple meal in my era. She also made what we call pressure cooker chicken and rice now. She had to use the stovetop back then though. Incorporating a vegetable was always important. So, peas are added to our tuna casserole but of course theyre optional if you arent a fan.
Mushrooms bring a great flavor to this cheap Instant Pot recipe too. Those are optional too if you want it just plain with no additional add ins.
- I want to say first off that the sauce does thicken as it stands.
Most pressure cooker recipes using a creamy sauce takes a few minutes to really thicken up. If you want that outcome then I suggest taking the lid off once its done and let it sit for 10 minutes or so.
- It will need a bit of time to cool before serving anyway so this will allow it to thicken up a bit.
You can always take some sauce out and into a small bowl and whisk some cornstarch into it too, then add back into the pot and stir to thicken it quicker.
I promise you though if you just give it a good 15 minutes to sit it will be as thick as you want it. The next day with some added cheese on top warmed up is a great lunchtime treat too.

Genova Changes The Game With Canned Tuna
Anything canned is meant to be convenient, but quality matters too! Which is why Genova has become a go-to for canned tuna in this house. Their cuts are hand-filleted and give us a rich and clean flavor that will definitely kick recipes up a few notches. Which is exactly what happened with this Mediterranean Instant Pot Rice with Tuna. A lesser quality canned fish would have easily gotten lost in this dish. But with Genovas large fillets, the tuna is the star.

Instant Pot Penne With Fresh Tuna And Cherry Tomatoes
It might not feel exactly like Spring, but this easy, one-pot pasta from my latest cookbook Instant Pot Italian is light, herby and just the ticket for busy weeknights when you need a meal on the table fast. Dried penne, cherry tomatoes, and fresh tuna steaks all cook at the same time under low pressure in the Instant Pot, so dinner is done with minimal mess and very little time. When you unlock the lid, the mixture will look slightly soupy, but by the time you slice the basil and zest the lemon, it will thicken up and be perfect by the time you sit down to eat. Be sure to buy fresh tuna steaks that are at least 1 1/2 inches thick so the fish wont be overcooked when you break it up into the pasta.
