Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 3-ounce skinless salmon fillets
1 1/2 cups fine fresh breadcrumbs, preferably made from sourdough bread
1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh horseradish or 1/4 cup prepared
horseradish, squeezed dry
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon rice wine or sake
1/2 teaspoon salt, preferably kosher
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
Sauce
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine or sake
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

Preheat the broiler. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat it with nonstick spray. Set salmon fillets on the baking sheet. In a food processor, combine breadcrumbs, horseradish, ginger, oil, rice wine or sake, salt and pepper; process until evenly moistened. Lightly press one-fourth of the crumbs over the top of each fillet. Broil, about 4 inches from the heat source, until the crust is golden brown and the salmon is opaque in the center, about 8 minutes. To make sauce: While the salmon is broiling, stir sauce ingredients together in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves. Serve alongside the salmon.
