2 tablespoons Butter

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1/4 teaspoon Coarsely ground black pepper

1/4 cup Plain low-fat yogurt

4 pieces Boneless, skinless salmon fillet (6 ounces each)

2 Large all-purpose potatoes

2 tablespoons Olive oil

2. In a blender at high speed, with center part of cover removed, blend cooked vegetable mixture, reserved cooking liquid, margarine or butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper until pureed. Return carrot-apple puree to saucepan; keep warm.

4. Brush yogurt mixture over the top and bottom (not cut sides) of each salmon fillet. Press shredded potatoes onto salmon over yogurt mixture. Heat olive oil in nonstick 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add potato-crusted salmon and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve salmon with carrot-apple puree.
