Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillet
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh dill
Instructions
Begin by spiralizing the zucchini into noodle shapes using a spiralizer or julienne peeler and set aside.
Season the salmon fillet with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic cloves. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the lemon juice and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
Add the zucchini noodles to the sauce, mixing well to coat them evenly. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the noodles are tender but not mushy.
Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and gently stir into the zucchini and sauce mixture.
Sprinkle with fresh dill and serve immediately.
