Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 salmon fillet (68 oz)
  • 1 tsp olive oil (for salmon)
  • Blackened Seasoning:
    • 1 tsp smoked paprika
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • 1/2 tsp onion powder
    • 1/4 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp black pepper
    • Pinch of cayenne (optional)
  • Sides:
    • 6–8 baby potatoes, halved
    • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil (for potatoes + broccoli)
    • 1 cup broccoli florets
    • 68 baby carrots
    • 2 hard-boiled eggs, halved
    • 1/2 cup blueberries
    • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

  4. Pat salmon dry. Rub with olive oil and coat evenly with blackened seasoning.
  5. Cook salmon in a hot skillet over medium-high heat 3–4 minutes per side (or bake at 425°F for 10–12 minutes) until cooked through and flaky.
  6. Plate the blackened salmon with roasted potatoes, roasted broccoli, baby carrots, hard-boiled eggs, and blueberries.
