Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix together freshly grated horseradish, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, and lemon juice until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pat the salmon dry and brush with olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
Coat the top of each salmon fillet with the horseradish sauce using a spatula.
For baking, place the salmon on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or pan-sear for 4-5 minutes each side until it flakes easily.
Once cooked, remove the salmon and let it rest for a few minutes to redistribute the juices.
Serve the Horseradish Salmon with any leftover sauce, garnished with fresh herbs or a wedge of lemon.
