Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups white quinoa
  • 3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
  • Zest and juice of 2 lemons
  • 4 fresh cod fillets (5-6 ounces each)
  • 1 bunch of asparagus stems trimmed

Instructions
 

  • Place the quinoa, 1 teaspoon salt, and water into the pot.
  • Assemble the pressure lid, ensuring the pressure release valve is in the SEAL position. Select PRESSURE and set it to high (HI). Set time to 2 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin.
  • While cooking quinoa, stir the bread crumbs in a bowl with butter, parsley, lemon zest, juice, and 1 teaspoon salt. Press the panko mixture evenly onto the top of each cod fillet.
  • When pressure cooking is complete, quickly release the pressure by moving the pressure release valve to the VENT position. Carefully remove the lid when the unit has finished releasing pressure.
  • Toss the asparagus with olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Lay asparagus evenly on top of quinoa.
  • Place the reversible rack in the pot over the quinoa and asparagus, ensuring it is in a higher position. Place the cod fillets on the rack, breading side up.
  • Close the crisping lid. Select BAKE/ROAST, set the temperature to A 350°F, and set the time to 12 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin. Cook for up to an additional 2 minutes if necessary.
