Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden, 3–4 minutes; cool.
Segment the oranges over a bowl to catch juices; set segments aside and reserve 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the juice.
In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, white wine vinegar, Dijon, honey, capers, thyme, orange zest, and the reserved orange juice. Slowly whisk in olive oil until emulsified; season with 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) each salt and pepper.
Combine shaved fennel, arugula, radishes, and parsley in a large bowl. Add about two-thirds of the vinaigrette and toss to coat.
Gently fold in orange segments and shaved Parmesan; add more dressing as needed. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Top with toasted almonds and a few chopped fennel fronds (optional). Serve immediately alongside the pot roast to cut richness and refresh the palate.
