Preparation
Roast the squash
Preheat the oven to 450°F. On a lined sheet pan, toss the squash with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 12 to 16 min., until browned and tender.
Cook the tilapia & make the sauce
Meanwhile, juice the lemon. Pat the tilapia dry with paper towel; season with the remaining spices and S&P. In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the tilapia and cook, 2 to 3 min. on one side, until partially cooked. Flip and add the garlic, cream, ⅔ of the mustard, the lemon juice (start with ½) and 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions); bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, spooning the sauce over, 2 to 3 min., until the sauce has thickened and the tilapia* is cooked through. Add 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions); stir well.
Make the salad
In a medium bowl, combine the squash, baby greens, remaining mustard, 1 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and a pinch of S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the tilapia and salad between your plates. Spoon the sauce over the tilapia. Bon appétit!
