Meanwhile to make the salad simply mix the lemon juice and oil in a large mixing bowl. Add the watercress and finely grate the carrots.

Gently mix together and finely grate the hard boiled egg into the salad. To finish simply heat up a small frying pan and add a drop of oil, then add the pumpkin seeds and fry for a couple of minutes. Add a tsp of honey and remove from the heat.

To serve: Place a spoonful of the watercress salad in the middle of the plate, then remove the cod with a palette knife and place ontop of the salad. Sprinkle the honey pumpkin around and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
