Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets (skinless)
• 4 tablespoons horseradish (prepared, not cream-style)
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not touching.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the horseradish, Dijon mustard, and lemon zest until well combined.

Step 4

Season the tops of the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and olive oil, mixing until the breadcrumbs are lightly coated.

Step 7

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the horseradish layer on each salmon fillet, pressing gently to help it adhere.

Step 8

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to lightly brown the breadcrumb topping, if desired. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

Step 10

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the baked salmon warm with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty touch.
