2 tbsp + 2 tsp olive oil
4 Braeburn apples, cubed
2 cups 1/2-in. cubes pumpkin or butternut sqaush
1/4 tsp herbs de Provence
6 skin-on rainbow trout fillets, about 125 g each

Brush with 2 tsp oil and season with 1/4 tsp salt and fresh pepper. Roast fish in top third of oven until just cooked through, 7 to 8 min. Remove and tent with foil. WHIRL parsley with garlic, pepitas, parmesan, 3 tbsp olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and 1/8 tsp salt with a hand blender until puréed.
