Generously grease a baking sheet or pan with cooking spray. Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on the baking sheet and brush them with olive oil.
In a small mixing bowl combine old bay seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, dill weed, and parsley; mix to combine.
Add the spice mixture to the fillets and rub it all around the top and sides.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. You can also use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness; salmon is cooked through when its internal temperature registers at 145˚F.
Remove from oven and let stand a couple of minutes before serving.
To Make with Roasted Vegetables (optional)
Prepare halved brussel sprouts and slices of yellow squash with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper; arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes. Add raw salmon fillets around the veggies and continue to roast for 10 more minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
