1/3 cup maple syrup, 75 ml
1/3 cup soy sauce, 75 ml
1 cinnamon stick
1 clove
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 ° F/190 °C Clean the butternut squash. Combine cinnamon, salt and brown sugar in a bowl and sprinkle over top of the inside of the squash. Place the squash halves face down on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cook in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove the squash and allow to cool. Remove cod from marinade and pat with paper towel to remove excess moisture. Season the fish with salt. Add oil and butter to an oven proof fry pan. Once hot place the fish in skin side up. Cook for 2-4 minutes until you develop a crust on the fish. Remove the fish from the pan temporarily. Drain pan of butter and oil, and place the fish back into the pan, skin side down this time.

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 to 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

  • Butternut squash can be peeled and cubed before roasting, but it is not necessary. If you choose to peel the squash, use a sharp knife and be careful not to cut yourself.
  • To roast the squash, preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and toss the squash cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Roast the squash for 20-25 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Once the squash is roasted, let it cool slightly before pureeing it in a food processor or blender until smooth.
  • Maple syrup can be added to the squash puree to taste. Start with a small amount and add more until the desired sweetness is achieved.
  • Butternut squash puree can be used in a variety of dishes, such as soups, stews, casseroles, and pies.
