Heat a deep pan with a lid on medium heat. When it is hot add in the coconut oil. Add in the onion, fennel, and pinch of salt. Simmer uncovered for the first 15 minutes. For the last 15 minutes cover and add salt to taste. Once they are done remove to a dish and keep warm. Sauté the zucchini in the onion and fennel juice and cover for 5–8 minutes.
