- 4 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 10-12 fresh sage leaves
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the cubed butternut squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the squash roasts, pat the Pacific cod fillets dry and season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, push the squash to the edges, and place the cod fillets in the center.
- Lightly brush the cod with the remaining olive oil and scatter the fresh sage leaves over the fish and squash.
- Return to the oven and roast for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve immediately, plating the cod over a generous scoop of the roasted butternut squash.
