Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 4 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the prepared horseradish and Dijon mustard to create a paste. Spread evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, chopped parsley, and olive oil. Stir until the mixture is evenly coated with olive oil.

Step 5

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top of the horseradish layer, pressing gently to adhere the crust to the fish.

Step 6

Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 8

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute before serving.

Step 9

Serve the horseradish-crusted salmon with lemon wedges on the side for an extra pop of flavor.
