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:
- Start by seasoning the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Let them marinate for a few minutes.
- 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.
- Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- While the salmon is cooking, use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles) from the zucchinis.
- 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.
- Plate the zoodles and top each serving with a seared salmon fillet.
- 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.
