Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring water or chicken broth to a boil. Add a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in the grits, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
- Once cooked, stir in the smoked Gouda, butter, and heavy cream. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside and keep warm.
- Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, black garlic powder, and crushed pink peppercorns.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and Cajun seasoning on both sides. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and blackened. Remove from the skillet.
- Spoon the smoked Gouda grits onto each plate. Top with a lamb chop and a salmon fillet. Garnish with sliced green onions.
Notes
For a spicier dish, adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to taste. Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.
