3. Using potato masher, mash potatoes and garlic until broken up. Add butter, chicken stock, and heavy cream and mash vigorously until smooth. Taste, season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
4. Warm large sauté pan over medium heat. Coat the bottom of the pan with a small amount of cooking oil. Once the oil is starting to smoke a little, place the salmon in the pan – skin side down. When 1/3 cooked turn the salmon over and cook on the other side to desired doneness. Remove salmon from pan and pat dry on paper towel.

2. Place 2-3 ounces of hot broccoli rabe next to potatoes.
