Butternut squash stuffed with salmon and spinach

Tonight, I had little time before preparing dinner, and my fridge was almost empty. But I did have a large butternut squash, some cheese, coconut milk (opened the day before and in the freezer), salmon, and organic spinach. The idea of stuffing the butternut squash popped into my head, and the result was delicious! This complete and balanced dish is easy to prepare, and frankly, everyone loved it. It's ideal for a comforting, gluten-free autumn meal. I roasted the squash in the oven beforehand and prepared the stuffing at the same time. I went to work out, then put the squash and stuffing back in the oven for another fifteen minutes. Dinner approved! Try it soon!
