Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Salmon fillets
- 3 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 whole Lemon
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
Instructions
Spiralize the zucchinis to make zoodles and set them aside.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the salmon fillets skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reduce heat to low, then add heavy cream, stirring to combine with the garlic.
Add the juice of half a lemon and a pinch of salt and pepper to the cream sauce. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add grated Parmesan cheese to the cream mixture and stir until melted and smooth.
Gently flake the salmon into the sauce, reserving a portion for topping if desired. Stir to combine.
Add the zoodles to the skillet and toss them gently to coat with the sauce.
Cook the zoodles for about 2-3 minutes until slightly tender, being careful not to overcook them.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the pasta and give everything a final toss.
Serve the creamy salmon pasta hot, garnished with additional salmon flakes and a lemon wedge if desired.
