Air Fryer Blackened Salmon with Parmesan Zucchini Chips

For the Blackened Salmon:

• 3-4 Salmon filets, washed and patted dry
• 1 TBSP chili powder
• 1 TSP red cayenne pepper
• 1 TSP paprika
• 1 TSP garlic powder
• 1/2 TSP black pepper
• 1 TSP salt
• 1 TSP dried thyme leaves

For the Parmesan Zucchini Chips:

• 2 Medium sized, zucchinis (I did one yellow and one green for some extra color)
• 2 Eggs, whisked
• 1 Cup plain bread crumbs
• 1/2 Cup parmesan cheese, grated

For the Blackened Salmon:

1. Wash your salmon filets and pat them dry. Set aside.
2. In a bowl, mix all of the seasonings together make the blackened rub. This is to include: chili powder, red cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, salt and dried thyme leaves.
3. When mixed, take your rub and rub the seasoning on all sides of the salmon and coat the salmon really well. Make sure there is no pink showing.
4. Preheat your air fryer to 350. Once preheated cook in your air fryer for 8-10 minutes.
5. Serve right away and with your favorite dipping sauce or on its own. I recommend BBQ. Garnish with dried parsley flakes if desired.

For the Parmesan Zucchini Chips:

1. Wash both of your zucchini‘s and slice them as thin as you can (If you have some thicker slices in there, it is not a problem). Place them in a bowl.
2. Whisk your eggs in another bowl.
3. Combine your bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
4. To make, dip a zucchini chip in your egg, then in the parmesan and bread crumb mixture. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat this process until all zucchini chips are coated.
5. If you did not make the salmon beforehand, preheat your air fryer to 375. Once preheated. Add zucchini chips and air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping the chips half way through. Cook until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve immediately with ranch dressing or your choice or dipping sauce on the side. Garnish with extra parmesan cheese and dried parsley flakes if desired.
7. ENJOY!
