Horseradish-Caper Crusted Salmon with Zucchini and Potato Hash 4.33/5 (9 votes)

For those of you who have been members for a while, you know my absolute favorite way to prepare salmon is to roast it in the oven. It is the absolute best way I have found to get a perfectly cooked piece of fish. Well, this recipe adds another layer of yum with this tangy herb crust with just a hint of spiciness, which is especially delicious paired with the herbed cream sauce. And in the spirit of easy cooking, we're saving the leftover salmon for Thursday's meal.

    I really liked the flavors in this recipe. There are only a couple things that I would change. I would not pre-season the salmon with salt. The capers in the horseradish sauce are salty enough to season the fish. Also, I felt that I could have gone without the sour cream sauce. I felt using two sauces on the fish was too much. The sauce in and of itself was good and I did use the sour cream on my hash. Otherwise, this was a great recipe.

    I didn’t have horseradish or capers, but substituted artichokes and halved grape tomatoes to bake with the salmon. Overall, a great dish!

    I made the salmon without the herbed sauce. It was very good and had plenty of flavor.
