Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and lemon zest. Mix well until combined.
Spread the horseradish mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet using a spoon.
In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the breadcrumbs are coated and slightly moist.
Gently press the breadcrumb mixture over the horseradish coating on each salmon fillet to form a crust.
Drizzle the olive oil over the breadcrumb crust to help it crisp up during baking.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the horseradish encrusted salmon with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick. Pair it with your favorite vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
