Good enough for guests
It's fine but does not have much flavour.
Don't see how cucumber is ever going to sauté to a dark green but it got plenty of buttery goodness from the sauté. I drizzled some of the browned butter into and over the trout and used a thin slice or two of preserved lemon inside the trout. The result was exceptional.
