This post brought to you by McCormick & Company. All opinions are 100% mine.

We love fish at our house, we have a few different dishes we love to make, but Salmon is by far our favorite fish!  AND apparently it’s yours too.  Salmon is one of the top 10 searched family dinners!!!  My kids enjoy it so much that I now make an ENTIRE salmon for my family, no leftovers.  My kids are GREAT eaters, and I’m so grateful.

My kids also love to help me cook.  The Reader has really started to enjoy cooking and wants to make dinner more often.  This Baked Crusted Salmon is so easy that she was able to make it by herself (while I took pictures and video)!

My husband liked this recipe even better than my Lemon Baked Salmon!  The flavors were the perfect balance, and I have to say I loved it too.  So much I’ve made it three times this week (dinner for the family and lunch for myself twice!).  It was so quick and easy, all you really need is a thawed Salmon to work with.

The crazy thing about this recipe is that I didn’t own any of these spices!!!  Seriously, with my collection of spices not to have all three was really weird.  But I loved them and can’t wait to use them more and in more dishes.  Esp the dill, I don’t know I ever would have been interested in trying it but it totally added that just right flavor to this dish. I would definitely recommend not skipping any of these when you make it!

Seriously so simple.  And the only thing that can go wrong is overcooking, always the biggest danger with Fish.  I’m a big believer in oven thermometers, having the right temperature is KEY.  Mine runs 25 degrees too hot! crazy, huh?

I served this with a lemon ricotta risotto (recipe next week!)

The Reader loved being my assistant!

AND I have a great giveaway for one of you from McCormick.com!  Seriously amazing package, I totally would use all of these.  I’ve always been a fan of their spices, In fact I use their Chili packets all the time.  I’ve been wanting to try the slow cooker mixes, anyone tried one yet?

      I haven’t tried that one!!! I’ll totally have to, do you like it for a specific dish? or every time you saute chicken for any recipe?

    • Ashlee

      It’s taken a ton of practice learning how to not overcook my salmon! It’s so easy to over cook it and it’s so worth figuring it out!

    • Ashlee

      I bet there is a fish you’d like, it’s about finding the right on! I love trout and salmon and shrimp, but there are quite a few fish I don’t care for.

    • Ashlee

      You’ll have to let me know what you think. I bet the McCormick site has some great suggestions for other types of fish. They have a few Suna and Tilapia recipes I want to try!

    Oh we love salmon but I have never tried making it – your recipe makes it look so easy to make (and yummy!). My favorite McCormick seasoning is Salad Supreme

      it is super easy to make! And so so good, I get mine at Costco usually, a bit cheaper and tasty. My Grandfather in law used to go to Alaska and bring home the best salmons, but now I have to make due with grocery store salmon.

    My favorite spice is their Beef Stew spice mix and it’s just the season to stock up. My husband loves their rubs for his ribs and uses a variety. Also use McCormicks when making venison stew!

      I use their Garlic powder, Onion powder, chili powder, Italian seasoning, we also love the Grill mates. I am sure we use more, but those are the one’s left on my counter because they are used so often.
