Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 whole lemon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the blackened seasoning.
Step 3
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides of each fillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then generously season both sides with the blackened seasoning. Set aside.
Step 4
Spread the broccoli florets onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 5
Place the salmon fillets on the same baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece. If there's not enough room, use a second baking sheet for the broccoli.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy around the edges.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Slice the lemon into wedges and serve alongside the salmon and broccoli for a burst of freshness.
Step 9
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or dill for extra flavor.
