We eat salmon often. I've made it every which way from grilled to roasted to poached and am rarely disappointed. This recipe for salmon with horseradish sauce is elegant enough to serve to company, but it's just so easy that it can be made any day of the week. - Waverly —Waverly
Test Kitchen Notes
I chose to try this recipe because it has all of my favorite flavors: garlic, basil, horseradish and soy sauce. I was excited to find wild Sockeye salmon at our neighborhood grocery store (they don't always have it), which I marinated for almost two hours. As instructed, I made the sauce two hours ahead also to let the flavors meld. I wasn't surprised that the baked fish alone without the sauce had a wonderful flavor with the garlic, soy sauce and horseradish marinade. Of course, the creamy sauce was a delicious addition, like icing on the cake. Delicious and easy! I'm sure I'll make this often. - nannydeb —The Editors
