Ingredients

  • 4 (6oz) salmon fillets skin on
  • ¼ cup everything Bagel seasoning
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and spread the everything but the bagel seasoning onto a plate.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and lightly season with salt and pepper. Then, press the flesh side of the salmon fillets into the everything spice to create a crust. Avoid getting the seasoning on the skin side.
  3. Place an oven-safe saute pan onto the stovetop and heat olive oil to medium-high. When the oil is hot, place the crusted salmon fillets skin-side down into the pan and cook for for 3 minutes. Then turn off the heat and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake for 5 - 8 min, until the salmonis cooked to your preferred doneness. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and place an oven mit or dish rag over the handle when you place it down, so no one grabs the oven-hot handle!
  4. For extra crispiness, feel free to turn the stove back on to medium and flip the salmon, so the crusted side is face down. Cook for 1 extra minute to crispen the seasoning.
  5. Serve with fresh arugula or Greek salad and tzatziki. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Skip the Oven: If you don’t want to bake it in the oven, then cook the salmon skin side down in the pan for 3 – 4 minutes on medium-high, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 3 minutes. Then, flip the salmon so the everything bagel crust is face-down, and cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Air Fryer: you can also air fryer everything bagel salmon. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F, add your crusted salmon fillets skin side down into the basket, and the air fryer for 8 – 12 minutes. I recommend checking at the 6-minute mark to ensure the salmon is cooking properly. There is no need to flip it!
  • Storing: Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating: You can reheat this salmon in the oven, toaster oven, air fryer, or microwave. For best results, reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 – 5 minutes or in your oven or toaster oven at 350°F for 5 – 8 minutes. I avoid the microwave because the crust can get soggy, but if you are in a rush, reheat for 60 – 90 seconds until warm.
