It’s finally winter squash season again!!
And pomegranate season! And roasting season!!
YES. YES. YES!
And thankfully, it’s always pineapple season. Just making sure we’re clear on that, cause you know my pineapple obsession is REAL. Like I currently have three sitting on my counter and one cut in my fridge. Yes, I will eat them/use them, all before they go bad. <–Truth.
So back to all this winter squash that’s starting to overflow in my grocery store. I am SO into it, and yes, I have at least four acorn squash and four butternut squash sitting in my pantry. Clearly I like to be fully stocked. Just take a look at my pantry (you’ll get chance on Friday). It’s currently filled to capacity.
Actually we just did a huge Costco run and bought WAY too much stuff…for waaay too much money. BUT, my pantry shelves are full and this just makes me happy inside. 🙂
Yeah, I know, weirdo.
SIDE NOTE: It was my birthday on Tuesday (I am kind of birthday shy, which is why I did not mention it) and my brother Brendan got me this super cute cowboy hat and a really creepy toy soldier that he snuck onto my desk while I was not looking. It’s staring at me now, and well… it’s just uncomfortable.
Like its eyes, they move… CREEPY.
But the best gift was surely Asher’s. She framed a picture she made that has the words “I Love You” over a photo of her holding out her arms for a hug. If you follow me on Snapchat than you got to see a pic of it. Cutest thing ever!
So this fish recipe.
My dad says this is his favorite fish recipe to date! WHOA!
And get this, for the longest time he also said that he really dislikes all white fish because it’s boring. He also said that he has never liked a fish cooked in the oven. WHOA! I totally changed his thinking with this recipe, and to say that I am pumped would be and understatement.
It’s kind of an Asian meets fall flavors recipes. I know that sounds a little weird, but it works. The fish is a little spicy and full of a delicious cilantro chile sauce. There is a little ginger, fish sauce, garlic and allspice going on too. YUM.
But the shinning star here is the acorn squash/pineapple. It MAKES the recipe complete. So flipping good. And simple too!
Oh, and did I mention that you only need ONE PAN to make this entire meal?? Yep, just one pan! I know, so awesome. Practically no dishes.
Thank God.
Oh and to finish, I added some pomegranate arils because well, it just felt so right.
Beyond excited that these autumn beauties are back in season. They are my FAVORITE! Prepare for a pomegranate overload then next few months. YAY!

But really, you need to make this slow roasted cod with brown sugar pineapple glazed acorn squash (whew!), it’s going to make you SO happy. No really, like it’s going to make you smile. 🙂
Simply Delicious!!!!
Thank you so much Donna! That is really amazing to hear! xTieghan
This was such a ridiculously good recipe. Served it with white rice. Forgot to add the pomegranate so guess this means I will have to make it again. Yay!
Haha I love that! Thank you so much Mary! xTieghan
What type of starch do you recommend pairing/service with this recipe? I would love to make this tonight for New Year’s Eve. Thank you!!
Hi Janell! I would serve with roasted potatoes, creamy polenta, or a simple rice pilaf. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you and Happy New Year! xTieghan
You need more stars for this one! Best fish I ever had. Made it with barramundi and added green beans to the pan. Awesome meal.
Thank you so much Deb! xTieghan
Looks delicious! Could you replace the cod with any other types of fish?
Hi Rebecca! I would still use a hearty white fish but yes you could! Let us know how it turns out! Enjoy!
I made this! It is so flavorful and wonderful. Bravo!
Thank you Wendy!
Rarely do I feel the urge to comment on a recipe, but this dish is LEGIT. It’s now in my top-five-things-I’ve-ever-made, and will be a standby from here on out.
The ingredients for the cilantro sauce looked intimidating at first glance, but I found I had all of them on hand (those squeezable herbs…namely cilantro, made this even easier).
I cook for one (ME!), and this turned out to be perfect for leftovers. On the first night, I did a big batch of the squash and pineapple, and a single cod filet. After that I just kept roasting a new cod filet every night (with extra cilantro sauce I made), and adding my already-roasted veg/fruit to the baking sheet about five minutes before the cod was done. Easy peasy. I finished my third night of this, and I’m sad it’s over.
Thanks for the recipe! This one is a keeper.
SOO happy you loved this recipe! Thanks and have a Happy New Year!
I’ve made this twice now–once with cod and once with salmon. Amazing both times–it’s def a new go-to in my house.
So happy the recipe is a hit for you! Thank you!
I love cod! And brown sugar pineapple glazed ACORN SQUASH sounds perffffffff!
Love this fish recipe! The flavors sound great!
I would love to try this!
I just love all your photos so much! This looks so good.

Happy late birthday! This dish looks incredible with all those spices and pomegranate seeds.
Thanks Nicole! Hope you had a great weekend!
Incredible mood in your pictures! Makes you want to jump right in and eat this dish – I really love your unusual flavour combinations! Pineapple and squash?! I would have never thought of that!
