Notes

If you aren't a fan of pumpkin seeds you can simply omit from the recipe.
For more of a crunch, crush the pumpkin seeds with the back of a spoon or whizz for a few seconds in a blender.
There will be excess liquid from cooking the fish, you can discard this when you remove it from the oven to add the topping if you wish to.
