Heat oil in a medium fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook onion, thyme, celery and salt for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Add capsicum and garlic and cook a further 2-3 minutes. Stir through cherry tomatoes, soy sauce and honey. Reduce heat to low-medium and cook for 8-10 minutes, until reduced slightly. Stir through balsamic vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper.

While tomato sauce is cooking. Pat fish dry with paper towels, remove any remaining scales or bones and cut any mix pesto and almond crumb together, until combined. Evenly sprinkle mixture over each fillet, pushing down to adhere.

Bake fish (on rack above pumpkin) for 5-7 minutes (depending on thickness), or until cooked through. Take care that the crumb does not burn. Cut lemon into wedges.
