Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

simple, quick, very tasty

Place the fish fillets in a baking dish, season with salt and pepper, drizzle with a little oil, and arrange the thyme sprigs on top. Cook in a preheated oven at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for 15 minutes. Heat the remaining oil in a saucepan, sauté the onion, add the pumpkin, and season with pepper, curry powder, and salt. Add the water, cover, and simmer the pumpkin flesh over medium heat for 13-16 minutes. Mix in the cream, simmer for 2 minutes, then puree with a hand blender, and season the pumpkin cream to taste. Ladle a “cream lake” onto warmed plates, place 1-2 fish fillets in it, and sprinkle with chives. This goes particularly well with mashed potatoes or rice.
