Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and grate the russet potatoes using a box grater, then place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible.
Finely chop the parsley, dill, and chives. Mince the garlic.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, parsley, dill, chives, minced garlic, and all-purpose flour. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to incorporate.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Add the butter and olive oil to the potato mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season them lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper on all sides.
Lay out a piece of parchment paper and spread a portion of the potato mixture into a thin rectangle, large enough to wrap around a salmon fillet.
Place one salmon fillet in the center of the potato layer. Carefully lift the edges of the potato mixture to enclose the salmon completely, pressing gently to seal.
Repeat the process for the remaining salmon fillets.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and use a pastry brush to lightly coat the outside of each potato-wrapped salmon with the egg wash.
Transfer the wrapped salmon to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the potato crust is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side of fresh greens or a light salad for a complete meal.
