Help, My Salmon Never Looks Like This

I once saw this salmon and potato dish at a restaurant that looked like it belonged in a museum, not on a plate. Meanwhile, every time I try to cook salmon at home, it ends up looking like it survived a shipwreck. Potatoes? Either raw in the middle or somehow both burnt and soggy. So, for someone who literally Googles "how to boil water," how do I make my salmon and potatoes look like they actually want to be eaten? Do I need special pans? Is there a secret handshake? Or is it just about not panicking when the oil starts spitting? Would love step-by-step tips, or just reassurance that it’s not impossible. Bonus points if your advice doesn’t require a culinary degree or a second mortgage for ingredients. Seriously, how do people make food look this good at home? #CookingFail #Salmon #Potatoes #HomeCooking #KitchenStruggles #Food #Foodie
