Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup stone ground white cornmeal
- Unsalted butter
- Full flavored extra-virgin olive oil
- 12 ounces mixed wild mushrooms washed and dried
- Quick mixing instant flour
- 4 (6 ounce) pieces cod
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 15 year old balsamic vinegar
Directions
Combine the milk, water, and cornmeal in a medium sized saute pan. Cook over low heat stirring constantly with a whisk until the mixture thickens (approximately 1/2 hour). After removing from the heat stir in 1-teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon olive oil.
In a saute pan, cook the mushrooms over high heat with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter for 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Heat 1-tablespoon olive oil in a saute pan. Lightly flour the cod with the instant flour. Place the fish in the pan and add 1-tablespoon butter. Cook for 3 minutes and then turn over. Place the pan in a 400-degree F oven for 2 minutes to finish cooking the fish. Salt and pepper, to taste.
Place a small mound of the polenta in the center of the plate. Place the cod directly on top of the polenta. Spread some of the mushrooms around the fish and drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar around the edge of the plate.

The recipe wasn't well though out. Following the recipe to a T, after serving we had the following comments: It's missing something - was there supposed to be a sauce?; It's very bland, You know what could make this work? a Mushroom cream sauce, Each individual part is good, but together it doesn't work, Normally when you cook a meal with two parts you have a bland part and a strong tasting part. This dish has only bland tasting parts.
I will try this recipe again, but will deviate from the recipe and add an oil or cream based mushroom sauce.
