Ninja Foodi Fish and Grits

Sharing is caring!

Create creamy grits and delicious crisp fish all in the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker with Air Crisp. 

The Ninja Foodi cooking system is truly living up to all the hype. I’ve made a lot in my little cooking system but this recipe is a true refelction on how you can make a delicious one pot meal all in the Foodi. 

First, I made creamy grits all in the pressure cooker. No more constant stirring. 

Then, I finished it off by air frying the fish while my grits were still in the pot. 

I did all this while recording this handy dandy video. 

As always, hope you enjoy this Ninja Foodi recipe.

• Meanwhile, season fish with blackened or cajun seasoning by first spraying the fish, then rubbing the seasoning into both sides of the fish.
• Once all pressure is released, open foodi and stir grits. Place a piece of heavy duty foil on top of the grits to cover. Lay the seasoned fish on top of the foil. Spray again with oil.

Notes for Ninja Foodi Fish and Grits

• You can sub other fish if you like. 
• I used low sodium chicken broth and unsalted butter in this recipe so I can control the amount of salt I add to suit my taste.
