    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Dust 4 x 220g trout fillets with 15ml (1 tbsp) medium curry powder each. Heat 15ml (1 tbsp) olive oil and 5ml (1 tsp) butter in a large frying pan over high heat.

Simmer 2 (50g) finely chopped spring onions, 45ml (3 tbsp) store-bought coriander pesto, 1 (4g) finely chopped green chilli and 250ml (1 cup) fresh cream together over medium heat, 8 minutes.
