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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub each fillet with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Optional: For a caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of brightness. Pair with roasted vegetables, rice, or a simple green salad.
