Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (204ðC).
  2. Place potatoes in a pot of salted water and boil until just tender.
  3. Drain potatoes and chill them briefly, then peel.
  4. Grate the peeled potatoes using the large holes of a box grater, pressing lightly to create thin shavings.
  5. Toss grated potatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Arrange salmon fillets on a baking sheet.
  7. Spread horseradish evenly over each salmon fillet.
  8. Season the horseradish layer with salt and pepper.
  9. Gently pat the seasoned potato mixture onto the surface of each fillet, pressing lightly so it adheres.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp and the fish is tender when tested with a skewer.
  11. Serve immediately.

Note

If the potato topping begins to brown too quickly before the fish is cooked, reduce oven temperature to 375ðF.

If the fish is nearly done but the topping is not sufficiently crisp, switch the oven to broil for the final few minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Use fresh horseradish or high-quality prepared horseradish for the best flavor impact.

Ensure salmon fillets are of uniform thickness (approx 1 inch) for even cooking.
