Recipe Name:
Ingredients: 3/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons minced fresh shallots
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup yellow grits
1 teaspoon olive oil
2/3 cup sliced oyster mushrooms
6 ounces finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or fresh Parmesan cheese
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon White Truffle Oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1/8 teaspoon Paprika
Directions: GRITS: Combine shallots, garlic and mushrooms in a small saucepan and saute until tender and mushrooms are golden.
In seperate pot bring broth and cream to a simmer, add water; bring to a boil. Gradually add grits, stirring with a whisk until blended. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until done. Stir mushrooms, shallots, garlic and cheese into grits. Set aside.

SALMON FILLETS: Heat the Olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Make sure fillets are completely dry to get skin crispy. Sprinkle fillets with salt, thyme, and pepper; place the fillets, skin sides down in saute pan. Sear for 5-7 minutes until skin is crisp and releases from pan easily. Flip fillet and finish cooking to desired level of doneness.

PARMESAN CRISPS: Using remaining grated parmesan cheese, measure a tablespoon of grated cheese per round and place cheese in mounds onto a nonstick silicone pad or greased parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Flatten out mounds with the back of a spoon, making sure mounds are at least 4 inches apart. Season with pepper, paprika, or cayenne, if desired. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 5 to 6 minutes or until golden.

Spoon 1/2 cup grits on each of 4 plates; top each serving with a fillet skin side up. Drizzle with White Truffle Oil, and sprinkle with parsley and add 1 Parmesan Crisp per plate.
