SALMON-AND-MASHED-POTATO CROQUETTES

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine potatoes and enough cold water to fully submerge them. Bring to a boil. Season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt and boil until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain; let potatoes cool 5 minutes, then press through a ricer or colander and stir until smooth (or mash until smooth). Transfer to a large bowl; let cool completely.
• Stir egg yolks, scallions, lemon zest and juice, flour, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper into mashed potatoes. Fold in salmon. Form mixture into golf-ball-size rounds, then flatten into 1/2-inch-thick disks. Transfer to a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or, loosely covered, up to 1 day.
• Whisk whole eggs in a shallow bowl and season with kosher salt and pepper. Place panko in another shallow bowl and season. Pour a scant 1/2 inch oil into a medium heavy-bottomed skillet, such as cast iron. Heat over medium until oil shimmers and bubbles form instantly around a breadcrumb dropped in (350°F on a deep-fry thermometer). Working in batches, dip croquettes in egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl, then coat in panko, pressing to adhere.
• Fry, flipping once and adjusting heat as needed to maintain a level temperature, until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, then sprinkle with flaky salt; keep warm in a preheated 200°F oven while frying the rest. Serve warm, with dipping sauces.

GENTLY COOKED SALMON WITH MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water to cover, until soft; this will take about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, smear a baking dish with the 1/4 teaspoon of butter and place the salmon, skin side up, on the butter. Let sit while you preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
• Mince a tablespoon or so of the chives for garnish. Tear the rest of the chives into 2-inch lengths and place in the container of a blender with the oil and a little salt. Blend, stopping the machine to push the mixture down once or twice, until the oil has a cream-like consistency.
• When the potatoes are done, put the salmon in the oven and set the timer for 12 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes, then mash them well or put them through a food mill. Return them to the pot over very low heat and stir in the butter and-gradually-the milk, beating with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper as necessary. Keep warm.
• Check the salmon after 12 minutes; the skin should peel off easily, it should flake, and an instant read thermometer should display about 120 degrees. It may look underdone, but if it meets these three criteria it is done. (If it is not done, or you prefer it better done, return it to the oven for 3 minutes more). If you like, scrape off the gray fatty matter on the skin side (or just turn the fish over). Sprinkle with some coarse salt and cracked black pepper.
• To serve, place a portion of mashed potatoes on a plate; top with a piece of salmon. Drizzle chive oil all around the plate and garnish with minced chives.
