Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
Seasoning & Oil
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Season the Salmon: Spread the everything bagel seasoning evenly over the salmon fillets and gently press down to help the seasoning adhere firmly to the surface of the fish.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot, ensuring the pan is well-coated to prevent sticking.
- Cook Salmon Skin-Side Down: Carefully place the salmon fillets into the hot pan with the skin side down. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes to develop a crispy skin and seal in the flavors.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the salmon fillets and continue cooking for an additional 4 to 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a digital thermometer.
- Check for Doneness: The salmon is done when the flesh is opaque, flaky, and no longer translucent. Remove from the pan and serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- Ensure the pan and oil are adequately heated before adding the salmon to achieve a crispy crust.
- Use a digital thermometer to accurately monitor internal temperature for perfectly cooked salmon.
- Everything bagel seasoning typically contains sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt, adding bold flavor and texture.
- If desired, serve with lemon wedges or a simple side salad for a balanced meal.
- You can substitute olive oil with avocado oil or another high smoke point oil if preferred.
