Steps:
- Heat oil with fennel seeds in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat until seeds are fragrant and pale golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep 2 hours.
- While seeds are steeping, quarter fennel bulbs lengthwise and cut out and discard most of cores, leaving just enough core to keep quarters of fennel intact. Cut fennel lengthwise into paper-thin slices with slicer. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Cut radishes crosswise into very thin slices (slightly thicker than fennel slices) with slicer and add to fennel in bowl.
- Cut peel, including all white pith, from grapefruits with a small sharp knife. Working over a bowl, cut segments free from membranes and squeeze juice from membranes into bowl. Transfer segments to a cutting board, reserving juice in bowl, and coarsely chop, then add to fennel and radishes.
- Pour fennel oil through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. (Discard seeds.)
- Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife, then transfer to another small bowl. Whisk in salt, pepper, fennel oil, and 5 tablespoons grapefruit juice, then pour over salad, tossing gently to coat.
MARINATED HALIBUT ON RADISH SPROUT AND FENNEL SALAD
Steps:
- Prepare fish:
- Simmer raisins in vinegar in a small saucepan until raisins are plump, 3 to 5 minutes, then cool.
- Cook onion in 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and transfer half of onion to a 9-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish with a slotted spoon, spreading evenly. Reserve remaining onion.
- Cut fish into 6 equal pieces. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Spread potato starch on a plate and dredge fish in it, shaking off excess.
- Heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté fish, skin sides down, until lightly browned, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes. Turn fish over and sauté until lightly browned and just cooked through, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes more.
- Arrange fish on top of onion in baking dish, then top with reserved onion and drizzle with raisins and vinegar. Cool completely, then marinate, covered and chilled, at least 8 hours. Bring to room temperature.
- Make salad:
- Tear enough fennel fronds to measure 1 tablespoon. Trim stalks flush with bulb and discard stalks. Quarter bulb lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into paper-thin slices with a mandoline or other manual slicer. Transfer slices to a bowl and toss with radish sprouts.
- Whisk together vinegar and oil, then whisk in sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Toss vegetables with half of dressing and divide among 6 plates.
- Remove onion from top of fish, reserving it, and put a piece of fish on top of each salad. Mound all of onion and raisins on top of fish, then drizzle with remaining dressing and sprinkle with fennel fronds.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Place barley in a medium pot and add water to cover by 1 1/2". Season with salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer uncovered until barley is tender and water is absorbed, 40-45 minutes. Spread out barley on a large rimmed baking sheet; let cool.
- While barley is cooking, toss fennel slices and 2 tablespoons oil in a medium bowl to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Spread fennel slices out in a single layer on another rimmed baking sheet. Roast until fennel is crisp-tender and beginning to brown in spots, about 18 minutes. Let fennel cool on baking sheet. DO AHEAD: Barley and fennel can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.
- Whisk orange juice, lime juice, shallot, 2 tablespoons dill, and zest in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in remaining 1/2 cup oil; season orange vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
- Transfer barley to a large bowl; add roasted fennel, along with any accumulated juices on baking sheet. Add half of radishes, olives, and 1/4 cup dill sprigs. Drizzle 1/2 cup orange vinaigrette over and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Arrange salad on a large platter.
- Scatter remaining radishes, reserved fennel fronds, and remaining 1/4 cup dill sprigs over salad. Pass remaining orange vinaigrette alongside for drizzling over.
FENNEL, RADISH AND CUCUMBER SALAD WITH TUNA DRESSING (TONNATO)
This dressing is your basic Caesar with tuna substituting for anchovies. It is very simple and very versatile. We served it drizzled over radishes, cucumbers and fennel. But I challenge you to find a vegetable this dressing doesn't go well with. It's great on boiled beets, raw tomatoes, green beans... I could go on and on but have already exhausted my welcome in this sentence. You get the point, eat more vegetables.

Steps:
- For the dressing: Put the tuna, mayonnaise, canola oil, water, lemon juice, garlic and some salt in a food processor and puree until very smooth, about 1 minute.
- For the salad: Put the radishes, cucumbers, fennel and parsley in a large bowl.
- Drizzle the dressing over the fennel mixture. Top with a little more lemon juice and toss to coat.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest fennel and radishes you can find. Fresh, crisp vegetables will give your salad the best flavor and texture.
- Slice the fennel and radishes thinly. This will help them to marinate more evenly and will also make them easier to eat.
- Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil will help to bring out the flavors of the fennel and radishes.
- Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of honey.
- Let the salad marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the salad chilled. This will help to keep it crisp and refreshing.
