Steps
- 1In a blender, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, horseradish, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Set the purée aside for later use.
- 2Begin by heating oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add panko breadcrumbs and cook while stirring regularly until they turn a golden brown color, which should take about 4 to 5 minutes. Season the toasted breadcrumbs with salt and cayenne pepper, then transfer them onto paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Allow the seasoned breadcrumbs to cool down before further use.
