Baked Old Bay® Salmon Recipe
This simple and flavorful salmon recipe is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The combination of mayonnaise and Old Bay seasoning creates a tender and aromatic fish that everyone will enjoy.
Ingredients
- 1 (2 pound) salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)
- Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if the skin is still attached.
Step 3: Spread the mayonnaise evenly over the top of the salmon fillet. Use a spatula to cover the surface completely.
Step 4: Sprinkle the Old Bay seasoning generously over the mayonnaise-covered salmon. Adjust the amount based on your taste preference.
Step 5: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillet.
Recipe Tips
- For a variation in flavor, substitute Old Bay with Herbes de Provence for a different, delicious taste.
- If you prefer grilling, this recipe can also be cooked directly on the grill. Just make sure to use a grilling tray or foil to prevent the salmon from falling through the grates.
