Wash and dry the fennel bulb. Slice it very thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline. Set aside.
Peel the oranges and remove all the white pith. Slice them into thin rounds, then cut each round in half to create half-moons.
Place the arugula in a large salad bowl.
Arrange the sliced fennel and orange segments over the arugula.
Tear the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and scatter them evenly over the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad.
Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it on top of the salad for an aromatic finish.
Toss the salad gently just before serving to coat all the ingredients in the dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
