Yet another salmon recipe! When you eat something almost once a week you should have lots of options. I was hesitant to try this as my husband doesn’t like things too spicy, but he was all over this. I had a bottle of Mikes Hot Honey from another recipe, and found a jar of Emeril’s Essence in my pantry that was so old I do not remember ever buying it! (bless that Emeril- it still tasted good.) I found this recipe on Little Spice Jar’s Instagram, and she votes this her current favorite salmon recipe. A really delicious, easy dinner.
4 (5 oz.) salmon filets
3 tsp. blackened seasoning (or Cajun/creole)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
3-4 Tbs. butter, melted
4 cups broccoli florets
2 Tbs. grated Parmesan
2-4 Tbs. hot honey
Prepared rice for serving.
Remove the salmon from the fridge at least 30 minutes prior to cooking. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
Brush salmon filets with a bit of melted butter ( I forgot to do this. No problem.) In a small bowl, combine 2 tsp. of blackened seasoning with the garlic powder. Then sprinkle this on the filets. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the salmon on one half of the baking sheet leaving space for the broccoli.
In a medium bowl, toss the remaining butter with the broccoli and 1 tsp. of blackened seasoning along with the grated Parmesan. Place the broccoli on the other half of the baking sheet. Roast the salmon and broccoli for 10-15 minutes or until the salmon filets are almost cooked through and the broccoli is golden. Drizzle 2-4 Tbs. hot honey on each of the filets and some on the broccoli. Broil for the last 20-60 seconds or until golden.
Top bowls of rice with salmon and roasted broccoli. Serve top with more honey as desired. Serves 4.

This has to be one of the best salmon recipes I have tasted.
That’s quite a compliment Nan! And so easy too. I’ve made it two weeks in a row.
