Instructions for Pesto Salmon with Pan-Roasted Potatoes

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place potatoes in shallow 1-quart microwave-safe dish. Cover with plastic wrap, venting one corner. Microwave on HIGH 6 minutes until just tender. Meanwhile, spread top of each salmon steak with pesto, dividing equally. Place on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until salmon is opaque throughout, 15 to 20 minutes. While salmon bakes, in medium nonstick skillet over high heat combine oil and garlic. Add potatoes. Pan roast, tossing, 5 to 8 minutes, until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Serve salmon with potatoes. NOTE: Microwave cooking times are based on a 700-watt microwave. Adjust cooking times to your own oven.

This was a big hit with my husband and sister. I even followed the suggested menu to a degree - bread (but Artisan not Italian), Artichoke Hearts Vinaigrette (minus the Vinaigrette), and fresh pears. I was a little concerned about the menu because it's a lot of "oily" dishes - the fish, potatoes and artichokes - but the crusty bread helped to downplay this. I would, however, like to add one or more "real" vegetables to the menu the next time I make it. One change I made was after adding the potatoes to the garlic and oil, I finished them in the oven with the salmon. I just had too many other things going to watch the potatoes, too.

Excellent with fresh King Salmon. Note, I adjusted the recipe by first preheating the oven to 400 degrees, then broiling the salmon for five minutes before adding the pesto to the top. (I prefer the flavor of broiled salmon to baked salmon.)
