This keto meal is so simple and flavorful. First start by making the blackening seasoning (or using one you already have) and then it is just a matter of seasoning the salmon and string beans and popping them in the air fryer. Seriously—this meal is that simple. Serve this meal as-is or with any sides of your choice – Keto- or not!
