Sunday Dinner: Celery Salad, Roasted Halibut and Polenta

This is what was for dinner yesterday:

Parmesan, Walnut and Celery Salad
Parmesan Polenta

Lemon and Herb Roasted Halibut
The menu is identical to one that Ina Garten featured in an episode of her show (I forget which one...) The celery salad is what really caught my eye because I'd never had such a celery-centric salad before. This was tasty and different; the parmesan and anchovy added a subtle savoriness and was balanced with the brightness of lemon juice. 
The three dishes work well together. The super crunchy salad added some welcome texture to what would otherwise be a rather softly textured meal. The polenta contributed richness to the two other leaner dishes.

Recipes after the jump!
