Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 lbs. baking potatoes, peeled and hand-shredded
1/2 c. fine-chopped red onions
1 clove garlic, minced
2 T. olive oil
4 (6 oz) pieces of salmon filet
Steamed vegetables (optional)
4 T. sour cream
4 oz. salmon caviar
1 T. minced fresh chives or scallion tops

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F; lightly grease a baking sheet or spray with non-stick spray. Place shredded baking potatoes in a colander and press out as much water as possible. Toss with onions and garlic. In a 14" skillet with a non-stick surface, add olive oil; place pan over med-heat. Divide potato mixture in fourths. Take 1/4 of mixture into your hands and form into a pattie 4 x 6" round (large enough to cover a fillet) and place in hot skillet. Place a fillet on top. Repeat with remaining potato mixture and salmon. Cook until pancakes are crisp, 3-5 mins, then use a wide spatula to lift pancake out of pan and carefully flip over onto prepared baking sheet (the salmon will be on the bottom). Repeat with the remaining pancakes. Place sheet in pre-heated oven and bake 10 mins. Use a wide spatula to lift each crusted fillet from baking sheet onto a warmed serving plate or a bed of steamed vegetables. Top potato crust with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of caviar and a sprinkling of chives. Serve immediately.
