Think onion rings: thin, light, crisp, with a good kick of spice, these are a far cry from those overly breaded, greasy rings served in so many restaurants, and they’re easy to make at home. The two things to remember here are to have everything ready to go before you start, and to make them just before you’ll be serving them so they stay perfectly crisp. [...] [...] I’ve talked before about how sometimes what you serve on the side of your dinner plate is the star of the meal, and this is another one of those times.

I have made a version of some of his chard tacos as well and they're an awesome meatless dish. Gail - I usually do salmon and other skin-on fish fillets in a super hot cast iron skillet, seasoned just with salt and pepper, a little bit of oil in the pan, cooking them most of the way on the skin side then flipping them to get a little color on the flesh side. Life Chef - Thanks! Donald - dill and salmon are a classic - yum! theitaliandish - Thank you! I'm really looking forward to spring and all of its tender young greens myself. Terry B - You are quite welcome, and thank you for the inspiration! Michelle - oh, that sounds great! I have made a version of some of his chard tacos as well and they’re an awesome meatless dish.

I never think of cooking the stems on chard; I always just toss it. Very cool. Oh, and thanks for the nice mention! Also very cool. Jennifer–Wow.

This looks really good. I'm a big fan of swiss chard. I can't wait for spring when the farmer's market here has the most spectacular new baby swiss chard. And it goes so well with lentils. The whole dish looks like a nutritional powerhouse. Oh, wow, Jennifer. This looks really good. I’m a big fan of swiss chard.

I have to try the lentils chard combination. I especially like the sauce for the salmon. I have been topping mine with a white wine, dill cream sauce. Yours sounds like a welcomed alternative.
