How to Make Baked Horseradish Salmon With Chardonnay Chive Butter Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly butter a shallow baking pan or broiler pan.
  3. Place salmon fillets (about 6 oz each) on the prepared pan.
  4. Season salmon with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle 1/4 cup Chardonnay over the fillets.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup prepared horseradish, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, and 1 finely chopped shallot. Mix well.
  6. Spread the horseradish mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  8. While the salmon bakes, prepare the butter sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup Chardonnay, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  9. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces to about 1/4 cup (approximately 5-7 minutes).
  10. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, one tablespoon at a time, until smooth and thickened.
  11. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives.
  12. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste (optional).
  13. Serve the butter sauce generously over the baked salmon fillets.
