A Dash Of Old Bay Seasoning

There's something about Old Bay Seasoning that gives seafood - real and fake some zing.  I decided to use this mix of celery salt,red and black pepper and paprika on my Gardein fish fillets. Gardein does make really good faux fish fillets however I wanted to change it up a bit.Old Bay was the answer.
Before I used the seasoning , I spritzed both sides of the fillets with Stop & Shop's vegetable oil spray. This helps the powdered mix to adhere better to the crust.

It was then dusting the pieces on both sides with Old Bay Seasoning. Don't go crazy with it. You want the fish flavor to come through.
The pieces were cooked in the air fryer (what else??) on one side for 400  degrees F for the first  five minutes , then flipped and cooked at 370 degrees F  for three minutes.
 The result?
A delicately spiced fish fillet that had a nice, seafood house vibe. I served it with homemade celery salad for a summery feel.

Will I use Old Bay Seasoning again? Yes. In tomorrow's scrambled egg lunch. It's supposed to be good on everything , from chicken wings to real seafood to even egg dishes. I definitely will be zinging up Gardein's battered fish fillets with it from now on. It elevates and enhances the flavor , making them even more delectable.,
