Orange, fennel, and mint is a delicious sweet, earthy flavor combination. Save some of the fennel fronds, give them a rough chop, and use as a garnish. When it's orange season, swap in bright pink Cara Caras or deep red Blood oranges for a jewel-like pop of color. Double the fennel mixture and serve as a side dish to other simply-seasoned fish, poultry, and meat recipes. It's also excellent tossed with baby arugula and some crumbled feta in an entree-size salad.
