A tangy, delicious horseradish sauce for salmon and other types of fish! Gluten-free and so easy to make.
The beauty of this recipe is that you don’t have to use exact measurements. If you like your topping a little sweeter, just add more syrup. If you’re the tangy type, go heavier of the vinegar. And if you’d like more kick, include more horseradish sauce.
No matter how you prefer it, this dish is a low calorie way to get lots of flavor.
Most importantly, it’s essential to check labels carefully to be sure that the products you’re using are truly gluten-free. The brand suggestions I’ve mentioned below are only a few examples of those items that are gluten-free today, but in the future, it’s best to confirm their safety with the manufacturer to be aware of any production modifications.
Salmon with Gluten-Free Tangy Mustard/Horseradish Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon mustard (French’s, Heinz, Maille Dijon Originale, Organicville)
- 1 tablespoon horseradish sauce (Boar’s Head, Heinz, Gold’s)
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon agave or maple syrup (100% maple syrup)

- A pinch of garlic powder
- Ground white pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs like dill, parsley, thyme (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (any type you prefer)
- Salmon filet (2 pounds)
Directions:
Spray baking pan (15” X 10” X 1”) with cooking spray and place salmon filet atop (skin side down). Pat salmon dry.
Combine the above ingredients in a bowl and spread mixture thinly over the top of the salmon.
Bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. If grilling, grill on medium heat for 15-20 minutes. Cooking times may vary, depending upon the thickness of the filet.
