Instructions
In a small skillet, toast the fennel seeds over moderate heat until fragrant, about 40 seconds.
Transfer the seeds to a mortar to cool, then pound to a coarse powder. In a small bowl, cover the ground fennel with 2 tablespoons of the grapeseed oil and let stand until flavorful, at least 30 minutes. Strain the fennel oil.
Thinly slice the fennel on a mandoline.
Spread the fennel in a large, wide baking dish in an even layer.
Pour the grapefruit, orange and lime juices plus 1/4 cup of the lemon juice over the fennel and refrigerate for 1 1/2 hours.
Drain the citrus juices into a medium saucepan and boil over high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes.
Pour the juice into a bowl set in ice water and chill thoroughly.
Transfer the juice to a blender and, with the machine on, slowly add the olive oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil until emulsified.
Pour the dressing into a bowl, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
In a very large bowl, toss the fennel with the endives.
Add the crab and dressing and toss lightly. Season with salt and pepper and arrange the salad in a large serving bowl or on a platter.
Drizzle the fennel oil all over the slaw, garnish with the parsley leaves and serve.
