    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

    Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt.

    Gradually whisk in the stone ground grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
