Thank you for this. I love Salmon. That you took the time to show us when you don't eat it has earned my infinite respect.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hey thank you!

[@serenitydilsworth9314]

You always make me smile CJ and even though you are not a fan of salmon, I would like to personally thank you for manning up and making this video. I am getting more adept at using the Ninja Foodie XL with your videos. When I was learning to cook in the 60's, never did I imagine that I would be cooking like this in my seventies. This is tonight's supper for me and my salmon-loving husband.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Right on! Thanks for sharing.

[@boonip]

Loved this video, this guy is like me trying to eat healthy and i just bought this unit. Your honest and really cool with your presentation. Thank you for this!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks much! Cheers

[@kathyehasz1679]

This video was so helpful and funny!! CJ so realistic. I hate fish too but need to cook for someone. Thanks I enjoyed this video

[@CookingWithCJ]

Lol! Thanks!

[@garywozniak7742]

I never liked it as a kid but tried the wild Pacific northwest salmon out here in Oregon and found myself liking it. It's. always good.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Right on

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the support!

[@happyconfident]

Thanks! My mom loves your show. She turned me on to it. Definitely appreciate you!! You might try wild caught salmon. It tastes way better to me. I can hardly stomach the farm salmon.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hey thanks so much! I’ll see what I can find for wild caught. Appreciate it.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!

[@terrypogue]

I agree with you i dont eat seafood except fish and chips but my husband loves it. I made this last week using your method for temp and timing on the ninja smart grill. Husband loved it and i gave it a wee taste. Not bad but im still not a fish person. Im doing it again tonight for him with a garlic honey glaze. Thanks much.

[@CookingWithCJ]

That’s great, at least you tried it. Lol! Thank you!

I just moved to Nola for work. I have a small condo. Decided to look into this ninja xl indoor grill. Going to check out your recipes. This one looked damn good and I like seafood. Thanks

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks!!

[@lucysylvia6725]

That’s wonderful CJ that you made time to make Salmon on the ninja grill, (that’s not what you like, but something other people like , I myself love Salmon ) Love watching your videos, they are always entertaining and I learn a lot. Cookbooks with ninja recipes that I have seen in the past for some reason the cook time is longer and food comes out dry. Since I have been watching your videos cook time in the ninja is always less and the food always comes out perfect. Thanks for all the helpful tips on your videos .Keep up the great work . 👍

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hey much appreciated! Thank you!!

[@johnsolberg7301]

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!!

[@Town101]

Cj, think of it this way. Salmon is healthy, sure, but it really takes in the flavor you add! it is good for your brain, joints and heart. The longer you are healthy, the longer you get to make videos! Fish = more life and income for you.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Lol! Great point for view! Thank you!

[@rubasubei8924]

Looks yummmmy

[@CookingWithCJ]

[@mooso75]

Thank you for doing Salmon :) it looks great. I have noticed with y probe that the temp is reading lower than it actually is so I need to use an external probe as well.

I have my roasted red potatoes in the oven, the fish ready for the grill and cheated with a bag of seasoned Brussels Sprouts in the microwave. Good to go! Thank You! 🙏 New subscriber for sure-can’t wait to look over the rest of your videos! Had me laughing the whole time-you definitely aren’t into salmon, 🤣. Looks SPECTACULAR and I’m sure I’ll nail it-but if I don’t I’ll edit this message and tell you. 😂

[@CookingWithCJ]

That’s awesome! Love it when the kiddos cook!

[@rpottsey1953]

Do you still do videos on the regular Foodi grill? Not all of us have the Smart XL with the probe and we need actual time and temp.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yes I do. I don’t like giving time because it can vary. But this cooked about 6 min. The grill setting was high, would be the same on the original. I would get a thermometer to check the internal temp, cook it to 140 internal and let it rest and carry over temp to 145.

[@keithbettag598]

fish looks good cj,,,,not a salmon fan here either, i wont buy the farm raised stuff, but i do enjoy wild salmon from time to time,,,,,they taste completely different, if u can find some wild copper river salmon, try that, it be most tasty

[@CookingWithCJ]

I’ll give it a go next time. Thanks brother

[@joshualaurie1657]

Just got the XL as a gift one issue I have seen with out using it yet is. Can you make a meal for 2 in one go with the grill? 1 protein 1 side, no having to cook one then the next, cooking chicken and adding potatoes is fine but no cooking steaks and then removing having to roast potatoes for 30min. All in one shot

[@CookingWithCJ]

It’s possible, but it’s be more about time management with the cook. Like start the potatoes first, then add the steak as they’re finishing.

[@thomasbrownlow1461]

Put some bourbon sauce on that CJ!! I always hated when I had to install insulation.
