Horseradish-Crusted Salmon

I don't think it's any big secret that I love fish, especially tilapia. But I thought it was high time I made a recipe with something other than tilapia!

Salmon is such a great-tasting fish. It's very versatile and is super easy to prepare. If you're looking for a great-tasting yet easy and quick to make salmon recipe, here you go. The topping takes about 5 minutes to whip up, and then 15 minutes to cook. That means you can have this on the table in about 20 minutes, if my math is correct. So go ahead, give this tasty recipe a try!
