Baked Cod with a Dijon-Brown Sugar Sauce, Rosemary Potatoes, and Spinach Salad with tart Apples, Herbed Feta Crumbles, and homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette

The best part about last night’s meal was the company! My sweet friend Heidi joined me for dinner and it was super awesome. :)  Also, this stuff was tasty but the shining jewel was *her* dessert - Newman’s Own “Oreo” Truffles… OMG.  Chocolate-gasm.  Seriously.

So, back to dinner.  I used Northwood Penzey spices, “fish herbs” from World Market (running low & I don’t know if they carry them anymore…aaack), and fresh Thyme as well as fresh Lemon Thyme, and Panko crumbs on the baked Cod.  The baby red potatoes were fried in butter with pink Himalayan salt and cracked pepper, and the finely chopped rosemary was added towards the the end.  I plated this up with a Spinach salad with tart Apples, Herbed Feta, and homemade vinaigrette - (Seasame Oil, Pomegranate Red Wine Vinegar, and the Organic Salt-Free Spice Blend from Costco).  Oh, yeah!  The sauce for the fish! A reduction of a bit of Sesame Oil, Butter, Brown Sugar, Pomegranate Red Wine Vinegar, Red Wine, and Inglehoffer Dijon Mustard.  It was yummy!

And then DESSERT.  Did I mention the dessert?
