Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 4 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

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, combine the prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and lemon zest. Mix well until combined.

Step 4

Spread the horseradish mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet using a spoon.

Step 5

In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the breadcrumbs are coated and slightly moist.

Step 6

Gently press the breadcrumb mixture over the horseradish coating on each salmon fillet to form a crust.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil over the breadcrumb crust to help it crisp up during baking.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 10

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.
