A BLM18 gets you into the order of 300Ω @ 100MHz, which is about
the equivalent of about 480nH. Using a lower current version gets
you into the 1kΩ @ 100MHz range (~1.6µH). Shouldn't that be enough
inductance?
Combined with some 10µF of capacitance and you already get ~15dB @ 1MHz
for a simple LC-lowpass. For additional filtering, add something like an
NFM18PS105 and you get good filtering up to ~100MHz.
