  1. ROAST AWAY

    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Spread the halved baby potatoes on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the Cape Bay spices, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. SOME PREP

    Rinse the green leaves and the Radish. Thinly slice the rinsed radish. In a small bowl, loosen the pesto with 5ml of oil and 5ml of warm water. Set aside.

  3. CRISPY TROUT

    When the roast has 5-8 minutes remaining, pat the trout dry with paper towel and season. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the trout, skin-side down until crispy, 2-3 minutes. Flip and fry until cooked through, 30-60 seconds.

  4. ZINGY & FRESH

    In a bowl, combine the sliced Radish, the rinsed green leaves, seasoning, the lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil.

  5. THAT WAS QUICK!

    Plate up the roasted baby potatoes. Side with the fresh salad and the trout drizzled with the loosened pesto. Good job, Chef!
