3. Toss fennel with oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a 13- by 9-inch (2-quart) glass or ceramic baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and roast 10 minutes, then remove foil and roast 5 minutes more.

Return baking dish to oven and roast, uncovered, until fish is opaque and just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
5. Sprinkle fennel fronds over fish and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with orange wedges for squeezing over fish.
