Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Trim green beans if necessary.
-
Add green beans to a medium microwave-safe bowl (large microwave-safe bowl for 4 servings). Microwave until slightly tender, 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer green beans to one side of oven-ready tray (for 4, spread out across tray). Toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
-
Place cauliflower in bowl used for green beans. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until very tender, 6-8 minutes. TIP: If cauliflower is hard to mash after 8 minutes, continue microwaving in 1-minute bursts until very tender.
-
Using a potato masher or fork, mash cauliflower with 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings), salt, and pepper until creamy. Taste and season with more salt and pepper.
- Drizzle olive oil on empty side of tray with green beans (for 4 servings drizzle olive oil in second tray). Pat salmon* dry with paper towels and place, skin sides down, on empty side of tray (place in second tray for 4). Season all over with salt, pepper, and as much Blackening Spice as you like.
-
Roast on middle rack (be sure your oven has preheated!) until green beans are tender and salmon is cooked through, 12-15 minutes. (For 4, bake two trays side by side on middle rack.)
-
Divide salmon, cauliflower mash, and green beans between plates. Drizzle salmon and green beans with smoky red pepper crema and serve.
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The blackened salmon and smoky red pepper crema were well-received; some found the seasoning bland or one-dimensional, and a few felt the cauliflower mash needed more seasoning 🍽️.
- Ease of prep: The oven-ready tray made assembly and cleanup simple, and most found the overall process quick and easy.
- Suggestions: Microwave the cauliflower in 1-minute bursts beyond the suggested time if it's still firm — it can take longer than indicated. Add a splash of milk or sour cream to the mash for a creamier result, and give the green beans extra oven time if you prefer them more tender.
- Portions: Several reviewers wished for more cauliflower mash and a larger drizzle of the red pepper crema, which was a standout element but felt too scarce.
- Cooking method: One reviewer had great results using an air fryer instead of the oven — a handy option if you prefer a crispier finish on the salmon.
