Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) Salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 1 medium Apple (crisp variety like Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Core and grate the apple using a box grater, and transfer it to a small bowl. Add the prepared horseradish, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well-combined to create the glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub each fillet with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Generously spoon the apple horseradish glaze over the top of each fillet, spreading it evenly.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Optional: For a caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of brightness. Pair with roasted vegetables, rice, or a simple green salad.
