Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.
