Instant Pot Lemon Pepper Cod

I have to be honest here, this is not my recipe.  My husband created this recipe!  He’s normally not in the kitchen very often, but there were a few times he was left to fend for himself. With needing a lunch that was high in lean protein, he turned to cod fillets.  I like keeping a bag of frozen cod in the freezer for quick dinner/lunch ideas for when plan B has to be administered! Using frozen cod fillets, a little rice, frozen broccoli, and a dash of lemon pepper, a highly nutritious meal is ready in 18 minutes.
