Microwave 2 potatoes on high for 6-8 min, flipping potatoes halfway through cook time (caution, potatoes will be hot!) then carefully scoop out flesh; mash potatoes with ¼ cup hot water (or milk), butter + salt/pep

Meanwhile, pat fish dry + season with salt/pep + your fav spices (we like garlic powder); heat 1 tbsp oil in skillet over med-high (get that pan hot, otherwise the fish will stick) + sear fish 3 min, flip + sear another 1-2 min (for well done cook 3 min on second side)

Divide mashed potatoes + salmon to plates
