# What You'll Need:

→ Fish

01 - 4 salmon fillets, 6 ounces each, skin-on or skinless

# How to Cook:

02 - Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - Brush each salmon fillet on all sides with olive oil to ensure even coating.
04 - Evenly sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the tops of the fillets, gently pressing to help it adhere.
05 - Place a lemon slice on top of each salmon fillet.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
07 - Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh dill and additional lemon wedges if desired. Serve immediately while hot.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything bagel seasoning does all the flavor work for you, so you never have to reach for a dozen jars.
  • Twenty minutes from start to finish, which means weeknight dinner without the stress or takeout guilt.
  • The edges get crispy and savory while the inside stays buttery and tender—it just works.
02 -
  • Pat your salmon dry before seasoning or the seasoning will slide around and taste unevenly distributed—this one step changes everything.
  • Don't skip the lemon slice on top; it protects the seasoning from cooking too fast and keeps the whole dish from tasting one-dimensional.
03 -
  • Keep extra everything bagel seasoning on hand because once you start using it, you'll find yourself reaching for it on chicken, roasted vegetables, and even scrambled eggs.
  • If your oven runs hot, start checking the salmon at the twelve-minute mark—nobody wants overcooked fish, and every oven behaves differently.
