Polenta and Rice Crusted Salmon

Don't be fooled by the "salmon polenta hot dog" looking picture. I'll be the first to admit that I'm no photographer. Whateverrr. Anyway, the polenta I made was surprising delicious. I'm only surprised because I made it. The polenta isn't its characteristically yellow color that it usually is and that's because I used white cornmeal (hence the weird picture.) I crusted the salmon with the coating Dunc made me, which is really simple to make. You just put brown rice in your food processor and process until you get a salt like texture.

Polenta:

1 cup cornmeal or medium grain polenta
4 tablespoons of butter
1 cup sour cream or cream cheese
4 cups of water

Heat water lightly seasoned with salt to a boil over high heat, about 5 minutes. Quickly whisk in the polenta until fully incorporated. Lower the heat to a low simmer, add the butter and allow the polenta to cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.Finish by stirring in the cheese and salt to taste.

Salmon:

Coat each side with the brown rice coating. Heat salmon in a pan with olive oil on each side for 1 and half on each side. Salt to taste. Serve with polenta.
