Quick and Delicious Broiled Salmon with Everything Bagel Seasoning
If you’re looking for a quick and delicious way to prepare salmon, broiling it with everything bagel seasoning is a fantastic option. This method not only enhances the natural flavors of the fish but also adds a delightful crunch and savory notes that are hard to resist. Let’s dive into this simple yet flavorful recipe that will have your taste buds dancing.
Ingredients
- 2 OceanBox Norwegian salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Preparation
1. Preheat your broiler: Start by preheating your broiler to high. This will ensure that your salmon cooks evenly and develops a nice crust.
2. Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This step is crucial as it helps the seasoning adhere better and promotes a nice sear.
3. Season the fish: Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets, then sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning generously on top. Make sure to coat the fish evenly for maximum flavor. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
4. Broil the salmon: Place the seasoned salmon fillets on a broiler-safe pan or baking sheet. Position the pan about six inches from the heat source. Broil the salmon for about 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork when done.
5. Serve: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. The bright acidity of the lemon complements the rich flavor of the salmon beautifully.
Tips for Success
- Keep an eye on the salmon while it broils, as cooking times can vary based on your oven and the thickness of the fillets.
- If you prefer a little extra crunch, you can broil the salmon for an additional minute or two, but be careful not to overcook it.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with a simple side salad, roasted vegetables, or a grain like quinoa or rice.
Enjoy this easy and flavorful salmon dish that brings together the beloved flavors of everything bagel seasoning with the rich, buttery taste of broiled fish. It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Happy cooking!
