Step 2 Prepare potatoes
Peel the potatoes and set in a steamer basket over a pot of water. Cook on high until potatoes are soft. Cool; coarsely mash the potatoes. (Alternatively, microwave-cook the potatoes just until tender, then coarsely mash.)

Step 3 Prepare the salmon
Peel the skin off the salmon fillets, if not skinless. Cut salmon into cubes. Add a drizzle of olive to a fry pan. Heat then carefully add the salmon cubes. Cook all sides just until done.
