Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 2 Sizzlefish King Salmon portions, thawed and cubed
  • 1 tbsp blackening seasoning
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup frozen cut green beans
  • 1 cup frozen fire roasted corn

Grain & Garnish

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Toss the cubed salmon in 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl to coat evenly. Add the blackening seasoning and toss thoroughly to coat each piece. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the chopped onions and red bell peppers and sauté for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften. Stir in the frozen corn and green beans, cooking for an additional 5 to 6 minutes until all vegetables are tender and heated through.
  3. Blacken the Salmon: While the vegetables cook, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat in a cast iron skillet for 2 minutes. Place the salmon cubes flesh side down in the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes without moving to develop a crisp, blackened exterior. Flip and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked brown rice evenly between two bowls. Top each with the sautéed vegetables and the blackened salmon cubes.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped basil over each bowl for a fragrant herbaceous finish. Serve hot and enjoy your nutritious Blackened Salmon Bowl.

Notes

  • Use fresh or thawed salmon portions for best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of blackening seasoning to your preferred spice level.
  • Cast iron skillet is ideal for blackening but any heavy-bottomed pan can work.
  • Brown rice can be substituted with quinoa or cauliflower rice for variation.
  • Fresh basil adds a bright flavor but can be replaced with cilantro or parsley if preferred.
