Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut larger ones in half if necessary to ensure uniform size.
Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and tender.
While the potatoes are roasting, thinly slice the fennel bulb. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Sauté the fennel slices for 5–7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
In the same non-stick pan, melt the butter over low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the eggs are just set and creamy. Remove from heat.
Layer the roasted potatoes on a serving platter or individual plates. Top with the scrambled eggs, sautéed fennel, and slices of smoked salmon.
Garnish with freshly chopped dill and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
