 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2/3   lb           (2 medium) potatoes
                       -- cut into 1-inch chunks
  2                    Salmon steaks
                       -- (6 to 8 ounces each)
  2       tb           Prepared pesto
                       -- (thawed if frozen)
  1       tb           Olive oil
  2                    Garlic cloves -- minced
                       Salt and pepper -- to taste

 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.
