Grilled Cod with Caper, Green Olive Tartar Sauce

Total time: 25 minutes 
   I get a long piece of cod 'back' that is without bones and perfect for grilling.  Cut it in half for easier handling and serving.

Sautéed Polenta Cakes

   I used metal rings to make these, but they can be free-formed. It's the flavor, not the shape that counts.

Sautéed Chard with Tomatoes

Total time: 15 minutes
   Chard, or Swiss Chard, is a slightly bitter green, reminiscent of spinach.  Mine is 'Rainbow Chard', thus all the colors.  We added some onion, tomato and basil for a summery flavor.  We cooked the stems just a bit longer than the leaves - but don't be fussy about it.
