Season the shanks with with Jacobsen sea salt and Furikake Seasoning. Turn on the sauté function on the Instant Pot and add a tablespoon of ghee or extra virgin olive oil when it is hot. Sear the lamb shanks in batches until browned on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the lamb from the pot and plop them on a platter.

Add the shanks back into the pot along with the bone broth, balsamic vinegar, and fish sauce. Pour the tomatoes on top of the lamb shanks. Tuck in the thyme or rosemary sprigs and bay leaves. Lock on the lid. Set the Instant Pot to cook on high for 45 minutes. When the Instant Pot is done cooking, let the pressure drop naturally or wait 20 minutes and manually release the pressure.

Plate the shanks and pick the herbs out of the sauce. Use an immersion blender to puree the vegetables to thicken the sauce. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with Furikake, salt, and pepper.
