I didn’t grow up in Maryland, but since moving here I’ve quickly fallen in love with the unofficial spice of the region, OLD BAY. Traditionally served on steamed crabs, I’ve taken to dusting this spice on all of my favorite foods, french fries and corn being two of my favorites. And at restaurants, I usually lean in heavily to dishes that mention the spice. One of my favorite OLD BAY treats is honey OLD BAY wings.

My friends and I were gathering for one of our many summer BBQ’s and it was my turn to host. Instead of defaulting to the typical burgers and hot dogs, I wanted to make something a little more adult. The day was also a total scorcher, so I wanted something light. Enter, the Honey OLD BAY Glazed Salmon with Fruit Salsa.
Salmon, Sprinkled with OLD BAY
Some of my friends can be such picky eaters, but OLD BAY is one of those ingredients that everyone loves, especially the Marylanders. So everyone went absolutely crazy for this dish.
The sugars from the honey OLD BAY marinade really caramelize on the grill and I was left with a beautifully sweet salmon that has a little bit of spice. But the most important step to this recipe is cooking the fish skin side down so the skin has time to crisp up and become the best version of itself.

I used this tonight and wow! My husband made the wow face, each hand holding up 3 fingers and his mouth making an O in the middle. Couldn’t grill, started way too late in the night. But the glaze was fine, the salmon sucked it right up. We like a lot of spice in my family so I went a little crazy with the old bay (2 tablespoons per pound). This was so easy. Thanks to you, I’m not afraid to cook salmon.
I’m so glad you liked it! This is one of my favorite easy weeknight recipes 🙂
