Savor the flavors of our quick and delectable Blackened Salmon recipe, featuring tender salmon, zesty spices, and lemon-butter broccoli, all keto-friendly and ready in just 20 minutes.
Mix paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, white and black pepper, thyme, basil, and oregano in a small bowl. Mix them to make the blackened salmon seasoning.
Lay the salmon filets skin side down on a tray.
Brush both sides of the filets with ¼ cup of melted butter. Sprinkle and press the seasoning onto the meat side, ensuring it's fully coated.
Melt two tablespoons of butter in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat.
Place the filets in the skillet, skin side down, and cook for 2-5 minutes until blackened.
Flip the filets, add the remaining butter, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the flesh side is blackened and flaky.
Cook the broccoli florets
Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until they're tender but still crisp. Drain any leftover water.
Melt a tablespoon of butter in the same saucepan on medium heat. Add the steamed broccoli, stirring until it's coated with butter.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the broccoli, then add sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Take the saucepan off the heat, and serve the lemon-butter broccoli with the blackened salmon filets. Enjoy!
