seafood
Seafood is the basis of some of the healthiest and most nutritious meals you can make. It is an excellent source of protein, a good
source of minerals, and some vitamins, and it’s low in fat and sodium.
Steaming in the pressure cooker brings out the finest, fullest flavors of seafood. The cooking time required is directly related to
the thickness of the seafood. To be safe, if the fish you are cooking seems thin for its weight or if it weighs less than the recipe
specifies, reduce the cooking time. Overcooking tends to toughen seafood.
