Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets (skinless)
- 4 tablespoons horseradish (prepared, not cream-style)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not touching.
In a small bowl, mix the horseradish, Dijon mustard, and lemon zest until well combined.
Season the tops of the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper.
Spread the horseradish mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet using a spoon or spatula.
In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and olive oil, mixing until the breadcrumbs are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the horseradish layer on each salmon fillet, pressing gently to help it adhere.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to lightly brown the breadcrumb topping, if desired. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the baked salmon warm with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty touch.
