Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
-
In a small bowl, drain any excess liquid from the horseradish and mix it thoroughly with the mayonnaise until smooth.
-
In a separate small bowl, combine the dry bread crumbs with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
-
Pat the salmon steaks dry with paper towels to ensure the crust adheres properly.
-
Place the salmon steaks on a wire rack set over a shallow baking pan.
-
Spread the horseradish mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top of each salmon steak.
-
Sprinkle the seasoned bread crumbs generously over the mayonnaise-coated salmon, pressing lightly to adhere.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Note
You can use prepared horseradish from a jar for convenience, but if you prefer a sharper, more intense heat, try grating fresh horseradish root. If using fresh, grate it just before mixing to maintain potency.
For a gluten-free version, substitute regular bread crumbs with gluten-free panko or crushed gluten-free crackers.
Ensure the salmon steaks are patted completely dry before applying the mayonnaise; moisture can prevent the crust from sticking and becoming crisp.
Keep an eye on the salmon during the last few minutes of baking to prevent the breadcrumb crust from burning, as it can brown quickly at high temperatures.
This dish pairs well with roasted asparagus, steamed broccoli, or a light cucumber salad to balance the richness of the salmon.
