Preparation

To make coriander pesto, place the garlic, cheese, nuts into a blender. Add a little oil and process until a paste forms. Add coriander and basil and blend with the oil being slowly added to the mixture. Once it has combined add the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

To prepare the coriander rice, place rice into bowl and add pesto. Mix through then place into 4 greased ramekin bowls and press down.

For the turmeric and lime coconut sauce, blend the turmeric, chilli, garlic, eschallots, tomato, capsicum, lemongrass, ginger, galangal, lime leaves and coriander. Place the oil into a saucepan with the bended ingredients. Cook until dry. Add the stock and reduce by ¾. Add the palm sugar, lime juice and fish sauce and cook until the sugar dissolves. Add the coconut cream and boil. Once it has boiled simmer for 5 minutes. Strain and keep warm.

Preheat oven to 200°C. Place a heavy-based pan on high, add a little oil then place the fish in skin side down. Cook until the skin is crispy, turn over and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove and place into the oven for another 3 minutes.

To serve, take the rice from the ramekin and place into the centre of the plate. Place the trout on top (skin side up). Spoon the sauce around the rice and garnish with a small salad of snow pea leaf, bean shoots and julienne of red capsicum.

Chopping garlic

Squash the unpeeled garlic using the flat side of a large knife to loosen the skin and help release the flavour and oils. Peel the garlic and then roughly chop. All of the pieces need to be about the same size to ensure consistency while cooking.
