Directions:

1. Whisk together lemon juice, Silver Spring Prepared Horseradish, Silver Spring Dijon Mustard, agave nectar, dill, salt, pepper and avocado oil.
2. Reserve half of the marinade mixture for dressing the salad, and use the remainder to marinate the salmon filets for 20-30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
