Grilled Cod over Creamy Spinach & Roasted Sweet Potatoes


When my parents recently visited, my mom whipped up this delicious meal one evening:  Grilled seasoned cod over fresh creamed spinach with a side of roasted sweet potatoes.  She actually reminded me that the fish/spinach combo was one that she came up with while trying to replicate what I described as "the most amazing dish I've ever had" at a restaurant in San Diego.  I had totally forgotten about that fish entree (must have been really amazing!), but she remembered, and tried to make it for me again (isn't she sweet?)

We tried a new recipe for Creamed Spinach from Tyler Florence, and that was topped with the grilled cod, which was very simply seasoned with a little Montreal Steak Seasoning.  The roasted sweet potatoes were just an added bonus, and not actually part of the original San Diego meal.  The last time that I visited home, one of my mom's friends said that she roasts diced sweet potatoes all the time - using only a bit of olive oil and a little sea salt.  Seems so simple, and it is, but it's also incredibly delicious (salty and crunchy on the outside, soft and creamy in the middle).  Overall a great meal...one that's already been repeated!

  1. I'm glad you liked the meal. It's actually quite simple to prepare. Grilling the cod on the Green Egg was a flavor boost too.
