Make

Preheat oven to 425F (218C) degrees.
Place chopped butternut squash with 1 cup (236ml) of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then simmer covered for 10 to 12 minutes.
While butternut squash is cooking, place fish into a baking dish. Cover with sauce (use only half if you doubled it for Wednesday's meal) and then cover tightly with foil. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
When butternut squash has cooked, drain, and return to saucepan. Add coconut milk, maple syrup, and salt. Puree with an immersion blender (you can also use a masher, but it won't be as smooth and creamy). Season to taste with more salt or sweetener.
Enjoy your fish on top your coconut cream butternut squash for a fragrant weeknight meal. Serve with lime wedges.
