Carefully take the potatoes out and remove the plastic wrap (it’s hot). Melt 2 tbsp of butter in a skillet. Add the potatoes, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1 tbsp dill. Stir well and cook for 8 minutes.

Rub 24 oz salmon fillets with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place 1/4 cup flour in a large dish. Use your hands to coat all sides of the fillets in flour. Shake to remove excess flour.

Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet and turn the heat to medium. When it’s hot (it sizzles when you drop in some flour), gently place the fillets into the skillet to cook. If you feel like you’re crowding the pan, do this in batches. They need 3 minutes on both sides (6 minutes in total).
