Preparation
Boil the potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Pick the dill fronds off the stems; roughly chop the fronds, keeping them separate.
- Halve the potatoes lengthwise if large.
- Place the potatoes and dill stems in a medium pot and cover with salted water.
- Bring to a boil, 14 to 18 min., until tender.
- Drain, remove the dill stems and return to the pot.
- Add ½ the spices, ½ the mustard, 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and S&P; toss well.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, halve and core the fennel bulb lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise.
- Using your peeler, peel the cucumbers into ribbons (or thinly slice crosswise).
- Juice the lemon.
- Peel and halve the beets; cut into ¼ inch wedges.

Start the beets

- Roast, 10 min., until partially cooked.
Bake the trout & finish the beets
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, make the glaze by combining the diced shallot, ⅓ of the dill fronds, the remaining mustard and a drizzle of oil.
- Pat the trout dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- When the beets are partially cooked, flip and add the trout.
- Arrange, skin-sides down, and spread with the glaze.
- Bake, 8 to 12 min., until the beets and trout* are cooked through.
- In a medium bowl, combine the beets, sliced shallot, ½ the lemon juice and S&P.
