Description
A simple, flavorful recipe featuring salmon fillets coated with crispy Everything Bagel seasoning, baked alongside tender asparagus. This dish combines a savory crust with perfectly cooked salmon and bright, garlicky asparagus, ready in just 14 minutes for a quick and healthy meal.
Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 2 tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning
- 1 pound salmon fillets
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Asparagus
- 1 pound asparagus stalks (or bag of frozen green beans)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the salmon and asparagus evenly.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner and lightly spray with non-stick spray for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Season Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin side down on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle them evenly with ¼ teaspoon salt and the Everything Bagel Seasoning. Press lightly to help the seasoning adhere well to the fish.
- Prepare Asparagus: Trim off the tough ends of the asparagus stalks and arrange them on the baking sheet around the salmon. Sprinkle the asparagus with ½ teaspoon sea salt and ½ teaspoon garlic powder for added flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender but still crisp.
- Serve: Serve the Everything Bagel Crusted Salmon hot straight from the oven or enjoy it cold for a refreshing meal option.
Notes
- Ensure the asparagus ends are trimmed well to avoid tough bites.
- Everything Bagel Seasoning can be found in most grocery stores or made at home with a mix of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt.
- Frozen green beans can be substituted for asparagus if preferred; just adjust cooking time slightly to ensure tenderness.
- Check salmon doneness with a fork to avoid overcooking, which can dry out the fish.
- For extra crispiness on the bagel seasoning crust, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking but watch carefully to prevent burning.
