Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Season each fillet with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the horseradish, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Spread an even layer of the horseradish mixture over the top of each salmon fillet using the back of a spoon or a spatula.
In another bowl, toss the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil and chopped parsley until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture generously over the horseradish layer on each fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the horseradish baked salmon with lemon wedges on the side for an added pop of brightness. Enjoy!
