- 1 lb. wild-caught salmon filets

- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons finely minced parsley for garnish

Instructions
- Prepare the Horseradish Mixture: Add the peeled and diced horseradish root and water to a food processor. Pulse until finely ground, being careful not to inhale any of the fumes. Add sea salt and vinegar, then pulse until combined. Transfer the mixture to a container.
- Preheat the Broiler: Set your broiler to 500°F. Arrange the salmon fillets on a sheet pan to prepare for cooking.
- Mix the Horseradish Topping: In a bowl, mix 1-½ cups of the prepared horseradish with melted butter, dijon mustard, sea salt, ground pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Top the Salmon: Evenly spread the horseradish mixture over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Broil the Salmon: Place the salmon under the broiler and cook on high for 7-9 minutes, or until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 170ºF and the horseradish topping is lightly browned and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the cooked salmon with minced parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
