How to cook: Salmon fillet with spring potatoes

Every once in a while I feel an incredible lust for fish. Sometimes I just need one so badly! I love getting a fresh one from the fishery, but sometimes I get a salmon or a mackerel. The only downside is that Ales doesn't like them! I make delicious recipes from fish and he does not fully appreciate these (not that he wouldn't eat it, but it's a waste of delicious meal), so I usually make something else for him. As for this recipe, it's nothing special but it's simple and tastes pretty good.

For two portions you need:
2 salmon fillets
4 middle-size potatoes
1-2 spoons of fine white flour
spoon of oil
chive
2-3 spoons of butter
oregano, basil, savory, thyme, salt, pepper

First peel the potatoes, cut them into small pieces and put them in the water to boil. Wash the fillets, and coat them with the mix of flour, herbs, pepper and salt and let them rest for like 10 minutes. Then preheat a pan with the oil and roast the fish from both sides. Meanwhile you should melt the butter. In theory you should be finished with all three ingredients at the same time, so all you need to do now is to put everything aside, drain the potatoes and then mash them a bit, add butter and freshly cut chive and serve.
