Preparation
Roast the squash
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.

- Meanwhile, juice the lemon.
- Pat the tilapia dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P.

- 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 to a 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.
