- Thicker fillets: If your salmon is thick, bake a little longer and check doneness in the thickest part.
How to Make Everything Bagel Seasoning:
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the baking sheet.
- Step 2: Brush the tops with olive oil, then press the everything bagel seasoning evenly over each filet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Recipe Notes & Tips:

- Press the seasoning on: Gently press the everything bagel seasoning into the top so it stays in place while baking.
- Do not overbake: Pull the salmon when it flakes easily so it stays moist and tender.
- Use a thermometer if you can: Salmon is done at 145°F in the thickest part.
- Finish with lemon if you like: A squeeze of lemon right before serving balances the savory seasoning.
