Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 center-cut salmon fillets (4 to 6 ounces each) skin on
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup fresh or panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1-1/2 tablespoons prepared horseradish (not creamy)
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and add the salmon, skin side down. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Combine the breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, melted butter, horseradish, and honey in a small bowl. Spoon the mixture on top of the salmon and pat down with your fingers to form an even crust.
- Roast the salmon until it's done to your liking, 4 to 7 minutes, depending on the size of the fillets.Note: We recommend cooking the salmon to an internal temperature of 125 to 130°F for medium doneness.
- Switch the oven from roast to broil to toast the crumbs. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, but watch carefully as the crumbs can burn easily.
- To serve, slide a thin spatula between the salmon flesh and the skin. Transfer to individual plates and serve immediately.
