* 2 (4-oz. ea) Alaska salmon steaks or fillets, thawed if necessary
* 2 (4-oz.ea) Alaska cod fillets, thawed if necessary
* 1/4 cup bottled Italian or oil and vinegar dressing

* 3 yellow summer squash, cut into 3-inch long narrow strips
* 1/4 pound mushrooms, sliced
* 1/2 cup green onion, chopped

HEAT grill. Brush both sides of salmon steaks for fillet and cod fillets with dressing and place on medium-hot grill 5 to 6 inches from heat. Cook 5 minutes. Turn carefully and continue to grill 5 to 6 minutes more, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove to platter, cover loosely with foil, and refrigerate until cold. Prepare fresh vegetables.

WHEN salmon and cod have chilled, remove from refrigerator and break into bite-sized chunks with a fork. In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together vegetables and seafood chunks.

ARRANGE mixed greens evenly on a 12-inch serving plate. Spoon combined fish and vegetables into center of salad mixture. Drizzle with Italian dressing and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

VARIATION: Use other seafood such as shelled crab, halibut or surimi seafood in place of salmon and cod.
