FENNEL CARPACCIO WITH BLOOD ORANGES AND BLACK OLIVES
Fennel tastes best thinly sliced. Serve it flat on a plate and topped with a savory mix of blood oranges and just a few oil-cured olives, roughly chopped to give the illusion of volume.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil; have ready a second rimmed baking sheet.
- Trim the tops from the fennel bulbs and coarsely chop 1/4 cup of the fronds; discard the stalks. Remove the outer layers of the fennel and halve each bulb through the root end. Thinly slice each bulb. Thinly slice one of the limes and quarter the other.
- Pat each fish dry and coat each lightly with a teaspoon oil. Generously season fish inside and outside with salt and pepper. Transfer fish to the foil-lined baking sheet. Stuff each cavity with slices of lime and orange, fennel fronds and garlic.
- Toss sliced fennel with 3 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread on the remaining baking sheet. Transfer fish and fennel to the oven; roast fennel, tossing occasionally, until golden and tender, about 15 minutes. Bake fish until it is just opaque, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve fish drizzled with more olive oil and squeeze fresh lime juice on top. Serve with fennel on top or alongside.

FENNEL AND ORANGE SALAD WITH BLACK OLIVES ON A BED OF COUSCOUS
A salad, modeled on a traditional North African one, that is great for buffets. The salad is modeled on a traditional North African salad of oranges, onions and olives. I substitute thinly sliced fennel for the onions, and serve it over a bed of steamed couscous. You could serve it on its own, but it is a shame to leave so much juice behind in the bowl, and the couscous soaks it up in a delicious way. The dish is a great idea for buffets as it stands up well over the course of a few hours.

Steps:
- Reconstitute the couscous. Place it in a bowl, add salt to taste and cover by 1/2 inch with hot water. Let sit until all of the water has been absorbed by the couscous, stirring every once in a while. Cover the bowl with a plate and place in the microwave. Microwave for 3 minutes. Carefully remove from the microwave (the bowl will be hot). Uncover and fluff with forks. Set aside.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing.
- Remove tough outer layers of the fennel bulb and discard. Using a sharp knife or a mandolin, slice the fennel quarters as thin as you can. Place in a bowl and toss with half the dressing and the chopped olives.
- Spoon the couscous into a wide bowl or onto a platter and smooth to make an even layer. Arrange the fennel on top, making sure to tip out any dressing from the bottom of the bowl over the fennel and couscous.
- Cut away the peel and pith from the oranges and slice into thin rounds. Tip any juice that runs out of the oranges as you are working with them over the fennel. Arrange the orange slices over the fennel.
- Drizzle the remaining dressing over the oranges. Arrange the halved olives on top, sprinkle with chopped parsley or fennel fronds and serve, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
