Make

  1. Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
  2. If you didn’t already roast the squash with Monday’s meal, toss squash with olive oil (portion for squash) and some salt. Spread out on a sheet pan in an even layer (use two sheet pans if needed to prevent overcrowding). Roast until tender, 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through cooking.
  3. When squash is done roasting, place salmon into a baking dish. Season with some salt and pepper and then cover with foil. Bake for about 5 minutes and then broil for another 5 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness of fish.
  4. Transfer squash to a mixing bowl (if made ahead, warm it in the microwave first) and mash with lemon juice and coconut milk until smooth. Season with some salt and pepper.
  5. Toss spinach and apples in vinaigrette until dressed to your liking.
  6. Serve salmon over mashed butternut squash with salad on the side.
