Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 4 tablespoons horseradish (prepared, not creamed)
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 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

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Spread an even layer of the horseradish mixture over the top of each salmon fillet using the back of a spoon or a spatula.

Step 5

In another bowl, toss the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil and chopped parsley until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

Step 6

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture generously over the horseradish layer on each fillet, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the horseradish baked salmon with lemon wedges on the side for an added pop of brightness. Enjoy!
