Steps:
- Place a rack about 4 inches from the broiler element and preheat.
- Put the potato in a medium saucepan, cover with water by 2 inches, and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower the heat, and simmer until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and heat. Season the salmon all over with salt and pepper. When the butter's foaming subsides, place the salmon, in the skillet and cook, turning once, until well-browned, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet.
- Put the cooked potatoes in a small bowl with the 2 teaspoons salt, 2 tablespoons butter, half-and-half, and horseradish and, using a fork, mash until fluffy. Season with pepper, to taste.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Using your hands, press about 1/4 of the potato mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet, to form a thin crust. Lightly brush the potato with the melted butter.
- Place the salmon under the broiler and cook until still slightly pinkish inside and the crusts are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and garnish with the chive segments. Serve immediately.

POTATO CHIP CRUSTED SALMON
This was from the Tony Danza show. I made it LOVED it, and thought it was a great and easy recipe to share. You can reduce the calories by using baked or WOW(olestra) chips, but it comes out a bit better with the Kettle Cooked Chips, as in recipe

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Lay the side of salmon, skin side down, in the center of the baking sheet. Season it lightly with salt and pepper.
- Crush the potato chips, lime zest and dill together in a bowl until the chips resemble coarse crumbs. Mix in 2 tablespoons of oil until incorporated.
- Coat the salmon with a thin, even layer of potato chip crumbs. Pat them on the fish gently so they stay put.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chip coating is nicely browned. Use 2 spatulas to transfer the salmon to a serving platter, putting one at either end and lifting them up together so the salmon is in one piece. Lay it gently on the serving platter and put a fork and a knife on the table by the platter so that people can serve themselves. You can also serve the salmon right on the baking sheet-there's no shame in that, either.

POTATO-CRUSTED SALMON WITH CHIVES AND SCALLION SAUCE
Steps:
- Grate the potatoes using the large holes of the grater.
- Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Season the fish lightly with salt and white pepper. Generously spread one side of each fillet or steak with the mustard (for fillets, spread mustard on the rounded side, not the skin side).

POTATO CRUSTED SALMON
Steps:
- Place butter and wine in baking dish. Slice salmon into 6 pieces on a bias cut. Place 3 pieces together in the dish and press lightly to flatten evenly. Repeat. Place half of the duxelle on one portion, covering the surface of the salmon, half on the other. Place the mashed potatoes across the salmon on top of the duxelle mix. Bake at 375F 12-15 minutes. The potatoes should be browned nicely, if not you can put them under the broiler a few seconds. Serve with lemon wedges.
Tips:
- To achieve perfectly crispy potato crust, use a combination of Yukon Gold and Russet potatoes. Yukon Gold potatoes provide a creamy texture, while Russet potatoes add crispness.
- Shred the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater for a coarse texture. This will help create a crispy crust.
- Season the potato mixture generously with salt, pepper, and herbs like thyme or rosemary. This will enhance the flavor of the crust.
- Press the potato mixture firmly onto the salmon fillets, ensuring that they are evenly coated. This will help the crust adhere to the fish.
- For a golden brown crust, brush the salmon fillets with melted butter or olive oil before baking.
- Bake the salmon fillets at a high temperature (425°F) for a short period (15-20 minutes) to ensure a crispy crust and tender, flaky fish.
