Horseradish

Another love in my life is horseradish. It is a root vegetable that is in the same family as mustard and broccoli. It is usually found in glass jars and mixed with cocktail sauce for shrimp. When I was young my Uncle Pat and I would see who could take more horseradish. He usually won. Whatever...

Horseradish contains mustard oils that are antibacterial. It is high in vitamin c, potassium, calcium and magnesium. For this recipe I crusted a piece of line caught Alaskan Sockeye Salmon and seared it on both sides. Threw it in a 300f oven for 5 minutes and let it rest for a couple minutes. I served it with red quinoa and kale with what else...garlic. The horseradish looses its pungency when cooked. Searing it until golden brown gives it an almost sweet taste with a little of that pungency left to make it interesting.

Its good folded into mashed potatoes, as a crust and in Bloody Mary's. Yum.
