Roasted Winter Squash With Seared Cod

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Melt half the butter in a small saucepan.
  3. Put 2 tablespoons melted butter in a roasting pan and arrange squash slices in one layer on it.
  4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter on top.
  5. Roast without turning for 20 to 30 minutes, or until squash is tender; keep warm while you finish fish.
  6. About 5 minutes before squash is done, put a heavy skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes; add 2 tablespoons butter.
  7. Dredge cod pieces lightly in flour and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  8. Add to skillet and turn heat to high; cook, turning only once, until nicely browned on both sides and cooked through (a thin-bladed knife will meet little or no resistance when fish is done).
  9. Arrange squash slices on a platter, then top with fish.
  10. Add remaining butter to skillet over medium heat; when it sizzles and browns, add vinegar and cook for 10 to 20 seconds more.
  11. Pour over all and serve immediately.
