I serve this to guests (most of whom never had tried fennel in their lives) and it was well received. I followed the recipe exactly except I added a considerable amount of coarse kosher salt. I can't imagine how this would have tasted without it! Salt is a critical addition to this dish.

Really good. I followed the recipe exactly (although I did extend the baking time a bit) and it was a hit at my cocktail party. I served it with crispy baguette slices that I drizzled with olive oil and baked in the oven.
