Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Spiralizer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Skillet
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets about 6 oz each
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 medium zucchini spiralized
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, Dijon mustard, parsley, dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the herb mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet. Place fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  • While the salmon is baking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in zucchini noodles, lemon juice, and zest. Cook for 2-3 minutes, tossing gently, until the zoodles are tender but not mushy.
  • Serve the salmon over the zoodles, garnished with extra parsley and lemon zest if desired.

Notes

  • Use a food processor with a grating attachment if you don’t have a spiralizer.
  • Substitute the salmon with chicken breast for a variation.
  • Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
