There exists a treasure nestled within the rugged terrains of Montana. A recipe born out of the intermingling of frontier charm and global cuisine – the succulent Horseradish and Dill Baked Salmon.
This dish rouses memories of fishing trips under the expansive Montana sky. Complemented by the heady aroma of fresh dill, lifted by the spicy kick of horseradish, and rounded off with the tangy goodness of lemon, this Horseradish and Dill Baked Salmon recipe serves as a flavorful escapade into lands unchartered.
A Nostalgic Journey
Although my signature dishes often encompass ingredients like bison, venison, and wild berries, I take pleasure in the experimental side of culinary arts. The experiences garnered in Montana’s wilderness have cultivated a penchant for audacious flavor combinations, which is why this recipe holds a special place in my repertoire.
Health and Taste in Every Bite
While the flavor profile is undoubtedly a treat for your taste buds, this recipe is also bursting with healthful benefits. Salmon, as many know, is a powerful source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support a healthy heart. Complementing this is the horseradish, with its high fiber content and plethora of essential vitamins and minerals. Lastly, don’t forget the dill, a herb renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties.
The Perfect Pairing
This Horseradish and Dill Baked Salmon recipe is ideally paired with a crisp, green side salad or a portion of wild rice to compliment the rich flavors. It reminds me of the Salmon with Melting Cherry Tomatoes,another flavorful feast that calls for bold accompaniments.
In my journey across the culinary landscapes, I have come across dishes that bear likeliness to this recipe. Yet, none matches the vibrant mosaic of flavors and health benefits this dish offers.
What You’ll Need
- 6 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup prepared horseradish
- Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Method
Step One
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius). While the oven is heating, prepare the salmon by laying the fillets on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step Two
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the salmon fillets. Season each fillet with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step Three
In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped fresh dill, prepared horseradish, zest of one large lemon, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Stir until these ingredients are well mixed.
Step Four
Spread the dill and horseradish mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, making sure to cover each piece’s entire surface.
Step Five
Place the baking sheet with the salmon fillets into the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your preferred doneness.
Step Six
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your Horseradish and Dill Baked Salmon hot!
