- Salmon - Rinse and dry fish and divide into 4 portions.
- Sauce - If making Wednesday's night fried rice, double the amount for all ingredients. Mix together yellow curry paste, fish sauce, brown sugar, and coconut milk. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)

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.
