Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line baking sheet with foil. Drain tomatoes and chickpeas; chop cilantro and garlic. Squeeze lemon for juice (2 tablespoons). Place in large bowl: tomatoes, chickpeas, squash, stock, couscous, oil, garlic, pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and ¼ teaspoon red pepper, if using. Toss to coat.
  2. Spread vegetable mixture in single layer on baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes. Combine yogurt, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, and remaining ¼ teaspoon red pepper, if using. Set aside.
  3. Stir spinach into vegetable mixture. Place fish over vegetable mixture; season fish with remaining ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Bake 12–15 minutes until fish is opaque and flakes easily. Serve fish over vegetables. Drizzle with yogurt sauce, and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro.
Always check fish for bones and cook to an internal temperature of 145°F.
