Time:

20 minutes

‍Serving Amount:

4 servings

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets
• 2 large zucchinis
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 lemon, juiced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh herbs for garnish (dill, parsley)

Instructions:

1. Start by seasoning the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Let them marinate for a few minutes.
2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
3. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
4. While the salmon is cooking, use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles) from the zucchinis.
5. In another pan, quickly sauté the zoodles in a small amount of olive oil for 2-3 minutes, just until they are tender but still have a bit of crunch.
6. Plate the zoodles and top each serving with a seared salmon fillet.
7. Garnish with fresh herbs like dill or parsley for an added touch of flavor and presentation.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs. This dish pairs beautifully with a light white wine or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra zing.
