Salmon Fillet/Homefries

Last Friday night I had a frozen salmon fiasco: I didn't know that cooking fish in cast iron is a bad idea, and I totally stank out my new cast iron pan. I didn't realize this was an issue until Monday night's homefries. I came home from a late night at work, deciding to do breakfast for dinner during the car ride, and heated oil to start the onion while I parboiled the potatoes AND THEN THE SMELL HIT. What baffles me is that my salmon didn't reek so terribly when I was actually cooking it!!! I had to boil vinegar and water for a long time to try and cleanse my precious pan. Then I made Snickerdoodles to make the apartment smell nice. I was a brave and courageous girl as I was able to bring myself to freeze 2/3 of the batch to save for Christmas.
