- Place shredded potatoes in colander and rinse several times in cold water until water is clear and starch is removed. Transfer to a large bowl and add lemon juice.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly coat an ovenproof sauté pan with canola oil.
- Pack 1/2 cup potato on each salmon fillet and sear, potato-side-down, in sauté pan until golden brown. Transfer to oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily.
- Serve 1 salmon fillet with 1 tablespoon of sauce.
