      Yield: 2 servings 
  
    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.
