Old Bay Salmon

A simple and aromatic seasoning blend creates a delicious flavor combination for this salmon dish, which is quickly roasted in the oven for a wonderful texture and flavor.

My in-laws enjoy fishing for salmon & halibut in Alaska every year, and we benefit greatly! Thanks, Fran & Bud! Instead of my go-to lemon, garlic, & dill salmon recipe, I wanted to try something different, so I tried this delicious and easy Old Bay salmon recipe from Easy Weeknight Recipes, because it used ingredients I had on hand. I also loved that this easy salmon recipe would be ready and on the table within 20 minutes! I used my homemade Old Bay seasoning, but store-bought works too. We all loved the spicy, perfectly cooked salmon and thought it paired nicely with tartar sauce, garlic rice, roasted grape tomatoes, and some crusty bread.

Old Bay Salmon

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp homemade Old Bay seasoning (or store-bought)
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp dried dill
• ½ tsp dried parsley
• 1½ lbs salmon, cut into four fillets
• 2 tbsp olive oil

How to Make Old Bay Salmon

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make the seasoning blend by combining the Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, and dried parsley in a small dish. Stir until well combined.

Prepare the salmon by cutting it into four equal fillets. Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil. Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over each piece of salmon.

Cook the salmon by placing it in the oven to bake for 7-10 minutes, or until medium-rare, 120-130 degrees on a meat thermometer.

Remove from oven and let stand a couple of minutes before serving with lemon wedges.
