Notes

Grill indoor or outdoor. To grill indoor use a grill pan at medium high heat. For outdoors make sure the grill grate is well heated before adding the fennel. Hot grates equal less sticking and nice grill marks.
For sauce options, I definitely recommend an herb based vinaigrette type. Chimichurri or zhug sauce are great matches and ideal given its simplicity.
Don’t slice the fennel too thin. Thicker cuts are better as they hold up better to the high heat that’s required for the dish.
