Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
Grate the horseradish on the fine holes of a box grater -- it should be the consistency of wet sawdust. Or grate it using a food processor. First grate it using the grating blades then switch to the metal cutting blade and process until fine.
Lay the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the melted butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pat about 1/2 cup of the grated horseradish evenly onto each fillet.
Roast the fish for between seven and nine minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is just cooked through.
