Grilled Swordfish with Olive Shallot Relish
Barley Salad with Sautéed Peppers

Cooking time: 30 minutes           Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

     You can use any fish suitable for grilling - tuna, swordfish, halibut, snapper.  They would all pair well with the olive relish.

Grilled Swordfish with Olive Shallot Relish 

Total time: 25 minutes
   You can use any fish suitable for grilling - tuna, swordfish, halibut, snapper.  They would all pair well with the olive sauce.  If you get sushi-grade tuna or swordfish you will want them seared but rare to medium-rare in the center.  Any leftover Olive Sauce can be used with other grilled meats or simply eaten with savory biscuits.

Grilled Swordfish with Olive Shallot Relish Ingredients:

 Instructions:Olive Shallot Relish

Note: Can also be cooked under broiler or sautéed in nonstick pan for roughly the same amount of time. 
Note 2:  I threw a few wood chips on the grill for a slightly smoky flavor - thus the darker surface color.

Barley Salad with Red and Green Peppers

Total time: 25 minutes
   Colorful peppers add both flavor and nutrition to salads and side dishes.  I use quick-cooking barley, which takes about 15 minutes.  Cook in chicken stock for added flavor.
