Get Recipe IngredientsPreheat 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.
- 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.
