Mild, flaky cod gets an ideal counterpart in this silky-creamy miso–butternut squash sauce. The sauce delivers plenty of flavor thanks to miso and ginger, topped with lemon, cilantro, and chili crisp. The cooking time will vary depending on the fish’s thickness, so keep an eye on it as it cooks; you will know it is done when the fish flakes easily at the push of a fork.
You can also skip the cod and substitute in your favorite seafood, such as shrimp or scallops—or make this dish vegan by using tofu and vegetables instead. This recipe uses the same butternut squash purée as the Miso–Butternut Squash Soup, so feel free to double the purée to make both recipes.
