2 Salmon steaks

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

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.
