Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Make the fennel and orange salad
- Trim the root end from the romaine heart; coarsely chop the leaves.
- Cut the fennel lengthwise into quarters and cut away the core; thinly slice the quarters lengthwise.
- In a large bowl, juice half of 1 orange [1 orange]. Using your hands or a sharp knife, peel the remaining 1½ oranges [3 oranges]. Cut the fruit lengthwise into quarters, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick slices. Discard any seeds. Alternatively, see Chef’s Tip on supreming.
To the bowl with the orange juice, add the champagne vinegar and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil and stir to combine. Add the romaine, fennel, and orange slices and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Add the fish, skin side up, and cook until lightly browned on the bottom side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn, brush with the Dijon mayo, and cook until the skin is crisp and the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes.
