Meanwhile on a rimmed baking sheet, toss together fennel, lemons, remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and 1/2 tsp. salt.

After 1 hour of roasting lamb, place fennel and lemons on sheet on lower rack. Roast turning once until fennel is tender and golden, about 40 minutes.

Loosely tent lamb with foil, let stand 15 minutes before carving.

Transfer to a platter, arrange fennel and lemons around the lamb.
