Baby fennel

Does anyone know of any good recipes for baby fennel? I love fennel and have used it in salads alot but I was just at the farmers market and found baby fennel so I bought it. Doesn't have much of a root though so not sure how to use it- was thinking of baking it with some fish, lemon and capers?? Any ideas?!

Thanks! Only problem is the baby fennel has no bulbs! It literally just has a teeny bulb and then a ton of the top part that looks like dill...I used it on top of some tilapia last night and the fish really took on the anisey flavor of the fennel so it was good!
