Toast the pumpkin seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they begin to pop and turn golden, about 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool.

Trim the fennel bulb: remove the stalks and any tough outer layers, then halve the bulb lengthwise. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, shave each half crosswise into very thin slices, about 1/16-inch thick. Roughly chop 2 tablespoons of the reserved fennel fronds.
