Potato Crusted Salmon (Michael Smith)

Michael Smith is a Canadian chef who encourages you to make his recipes your own. This recipe is supposed to have the horseradish in it, but some people don't like the heat so I made it optional. I like the horseradish in it. Michaeld intended this to be served with Pickle Sauce (Michael Smith). Enjoy!
