Put vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic and olive oil in a screw-top jar. Season with salt and pepper and shake to combine.
Add orange segments and dressing and toss to combine.

Re-heat the pan on the hob to a very high temperature with 1 table spoon of olive oil.
Roast the squid in the pan (leaving each side for about 2 to 3 minutes in the pan so that the squid turns brown and get caramelised).
Put the fennel salad on a small plate, take the roasted squid and place it on the fennel.
Sprinkle the lemon zests over the squid.
Take the olive oil/chili/garlic mixture from the bowl and drizzle it over the squid and salad.
