Impress everyone at your table with this elegant but easy salmon that's delicious and nutritious. You can substitute scallions for shallots if you like. —Linda Press Wolfe, Cross River, New York

Test Kitchen tips

Any nuts may be substituted for the pistachios. Some of our favorites are almonds and pecans.

Make sure to use plain horseradish, not horseradish sauce or creamed horseradish.

One tablespoon of horseradish adds a nice mild flavor, but feel free to increase to 2 or 3 tablespoons if you like a little more bite.

This nutty coating also adds a nice crunch to chicken and pork.

For easier cleanup, line baking pan with foil.

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350°. Place salmon, skin side down, in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Spread sour cream over each fillet. Combine remaining ingredients. Pat crumb-nut mixture onto tops of salmon fillets, pressing to help coating adhere. Bake until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 12-15 minutes.
