Balsamic vinegar was very interesting in the potatoes but too strong. It overpowered even the horseradish. I liked where it was going but it didn't get me completely there.

We came home from a fishing trip this weekend with several dozen pacific cod and I've been looking for recipes that highlight the fish. This preparation was so simple that I wasn't expecting much but I also happened to have a bunch of fresh cilantro on hand so I gave it a try. Wow. It was amazing, and so easy. The cilantro taste was very subtle. I served it with a dipping sauce of mayo + chipotle powder.
I can't comment on the other two parts of the dish since I didn't have squash and I had to alter the mashed potato recipe to avoid milk products.

The cod and the mashed potatoes were both very tasty - didn't have patapan squash so used another white summer squash as a substitute and it was kind of bland. Otherwise, easy, quick and deliciously light summer meal.
