What Can I Do with Everything Bagel Seasoning?
I have been absolutely obsessed with Everything Bagel Seasoning since the day I first discovered it on the shelves at Trader Joe’s. It’s become a pantry staple in our family, and we add it to so many things, including:
- The most fantastic 3-Ingredient Everything Bagel Dip
- These crazy good Everything Bagel Appetizer Kielbasa Bites
- Hummus
- Plain bagels with Cream Cheese
- On top of my favorite Copycat Panera Mac and Cheese Recipe
- Scrambled eggs
- Roasted Potatoes
- Mixed into rice
And now, I’m going to share one of my FAVORITE ways to enjoy baked salmon – topped with Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel Seasoning.
As a bonus, salmon cooks so quickly that, even though it seems fancy, this dish can actually be ready to eat in just 15 minutes!
What You’ll Need to Make Everything Bagel Salmon
- Four 6-ounce salmon fillets
- Approximately 3 TBSP Everything but the Bagel Seasoning
- Olive oil
How to Make Everything but the Bagel Salmon
Step One
Begin by preheating the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step Two
Lay your salmon fillets out on a cutting board or cooking mat.
Now, sprinkle the Everything but the Bagel Seasoning generously over the salmon fillets, so they are entirely covered with the seasoning. (I know that this takes about three tablespoons of seasoning because I measured it out for this post. But, usually, I just sprinkle it straight from the shaker until the salmon is covered.)
Next, use your fingertips to press the bagel seasoning into the salmon gently. (Note, you are only using the seasoning on one side of the salmon.)
Step Three
Heat a decent size glug of olive oil in a cast iron (or another oven-proof pan). Side note: I LOVE cooking with this deep dish cast iron pan – it keeps grease splatters to a minimum!)
Once the olive oil is hot, add the salmon (the seasoned side facing down) and sear for around 3 minutes, until slightly crispy.
Next, flip the salmon over so that the seasoned side is now facing up. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes until the internal temperature of the salmon reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit. (If you need an instant-read thermometer, this one is awesome – it’s digital, reads temperatures super quickly, and is very reasonably priced.)
What can I serve Baked Salmon With?
There are so many ways you can serve this Everything, Bagel Salmon! Some of my favorites are:
- As a protein in a salad
- Alongside noodles
- Over rice
- With quinoa
- With a side of veggies – broccoli, cauliflower, and summer squash all pair nicely with the baked salmon
- With zucchini noodles (here’s my favorite zoodle maker!)
