Elevate your Instant Pot presentation by placing a flavorful stuffing inside your protein. Do this simple trick and you’ve instantly got a gorgeous meal in minutes that’s fit for your family and looks impressive for guests.

Elevate your Instant Pot presentation by placing a flavorful stuffing inside your protein. Do this simple trick and you’ve instantly got a gorgeous meal in minutes that’s fit for your family and looks impressive for guests.

In this version of stuffed sea bass, Greek herbs are added to the steaming liquid and infiltrate the fish with a hint of additional flavor while cooking. Sea bass is a protein packed fish that gets much of its flavor from the healthy oils that it contains. This lean, buttery meat has a rich assortment of nutrients and is high in inflammation fighting vitamin D and essential omega-3 fatty acids.

For the filling, a traditional kale dip is modified into a healthy stuffing mixture by combining fresh chopped kale with yogurt instead of mayonnaise and cream cheese. The tartness of the yogurt pairs perfectly with feta to give this filling a unique taste and creaminess that is reminiscent of a tzatziki sauce. Serve this up with additional kale prepared as a fresh chopped salad or steamed at the same time as your sea bass for an easy Instant Pot side dish.
