Old Bay Salmon

This quick and easy old bay salmon is full of protein and flavor with just 5 ingredients!

Why We Use Old Bay?

Old bay seasoning can be traced back to the 1930’s when this unique blend of spices was originally created. It became available to the masses when it was purchased by a large seasoning manufacturer in the 1990’s.

Old bay is mostly used to season seafood recipes, adding heaps of flavor with just a small amount. The reason the seasoning adds so much flavor is because of its unique blend of 18 spices! Celery salt, bay leaves, clove, nutmeg, garlic, paprika and dried mustard to name a few. As you can tell, these aromatic spices each bring a different flavor note with some spices being herbier and others adding warmer spice.

In this simple recipe, we seasoned salmon with old bay right before baking. Once the salmon has cooking though, it is broiled to lightly char the edges of the salmon and richen the flavor.
