I usually pair horseradish with beef so I hesitated on making this recipe from my Dad’s cookbook but am so glad I tried it. I would make this salmon again in a heartbeat. The glaze is amazingly sweet and smooth. You have to try it.

Local honey helps with allergies. Salmon is packed with Omega 3′s and protein. And, horseradish prevents or decreases sinus infections and with all this pollen, I am willing to try anything to stay off medicine. I can go on for a while but to sum it up, do not take Levaquin for a sinus infection.

Directions

1) Mix 1/4 cup local honey, 1/4 cup horseradish with beets, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, and squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top. Mix well.

2) Sear the salmon on both sides. Spoon on the glaze. This will splatter so wear an apron and stand back. Continue to cook until your preferred temperature and spoon or brush on the glaze every 2 minutes.

3) My steaks were very thick so I had to bake them for 10 minutes to achieve a medium temperature. Next time, I will broil them or use my grill. They may be even better.

Enjoy!
