Can You Use Seafood Boil Seasoning on Salmon?
Yes. Seafood boil seasoning can be used on salmon, and the combination makes sense: salmon has enough richness to stand up to bold seasoning, butter, garlic, and lemon.
Baked Salmon
Brush the salmon lightly with melted butter or oil, season with Chef Bae® Seafood Boil Seasoning, and bake until the fish is safely cooked and flakes easily. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillet.
Garlic Butter Salmon
Melt unsalted butter, add minced garlic if you like, then stir in Chef Bae® Seafood Boil Seasoning. Spoon the mixture over cooked or nearly cooked salmon for a buttery finish.
Pan-Seared Salmon
Pat the salmon dry before seasoning so it can brown properly. Sear it in a lightly oiled skillet, then finish with a small amount of seasoned butter after cooking.
What to Serve with It
- Mashed potatoes
- Roasted broccoli
- Green beans
- Rice
- Corn on the cob
- Roasted baby potatoes
- Asparagus
Start Lightly
Salmon is usually served in smaller portions than a seafood boil, so use less seasoning than you would for a large pot of shrimp, crab, corn, and potatoes. Start lightly, then add more seasoned butter at the table if desired.
