Instructions

In a medium bowl, break apart trout into small pieces.
Add Greek yogurt, crème fraîche, lemon juice and chives and mix to combine. Salt and pepper to taste. Let sit in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Trim the polenta’s rounded edges to create a long rectangle. Cut polenta into 14 squares, about ½-inch thick.
Spread the panko crumbs out onto a plate. Press both sides of polenta squares firmly into panko to coat.
