    I had every intention of making this recipe exactly as written, but after I chopped up all the fennel, I just couldn't bring myself to eat it raw... its too licorice-y. SO i tossed all the fennel in a pan with some olive oil, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and sauteed it until it was soft and starting to carmelize. Then I let it cool a bit and added all the rest of the ingredients raw as specified in the recipe and it was AWESOME! 5 Stars!!!!

    This recipe is so delicious! Easy, healthy and so clean tasting! Every year I can't wait for fresh halibut season so I can enjoy it again! Just one more of Giada's recipes that I make overand over! YUM!!

    I'm not sure if it was the recipe or the quality of the fennel, but the flavors were bland. I have had better tasting fennel. This was bitter and combined with the grapefruit only added to the bitterness.

    This recipe while it sounds interesting, did not (to my taste compliment the halibut. It is a bit too acidic and the fennel bulb is too tough. It's possible that I cut the fennel bulb a bit too thick, but I endeavored to cut it as thin as possible. Perhaps the fennel bulb should be par-boiled betore slicing to make it a bit more tender. Too bad as the vast majority of Glada's recipes (especially the healthy ones's are very much to my taste and I rate them very highly.

    I made this for a weekly girls' night and everyone was impressed by it. My local grocer didn't have halibut so I substituted Tilapia. I also cooked the Tilapia in parchment paper in the oven so that it would be very moist. Yumm!

    delicious and idiot-proof -- and the salsa works with any firm fish -- we especially liked it w/ mahi mahi

    I was first intrigued and curious by what seemed to be a quirky combination of flavors, but the finished product was absolutely excellent. The flavors were surprisingly balanced, and it was a fantastic way to eat light and still have fresh, interesting flavors. My husband does not like anise or fennel flavor, but the dish was so balanced that he absolutely loved it. Note: I grilled cod for the recipe and found that the mild smoky flavor complimented very nicely.

    My family loved the halibut but thought the salsa was just okay. They did eat it all,but definitely not a favorite.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. It was simple, very flavorful, light and healthy. The cool fennel and grapefruit up against the hot, tender and flaky fish is a great combination. The sweet grapefruit and salty nicoise olives was a winner. All around, this is a fantastic meal.
