- 200 grams egg noodles
- 150 grams canned tuna (or cooked salmon, flaked)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 medium zucchini, julienned or spiralized
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
If using fresh salmon, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Flake the salmon with a fork and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the julienned zucchini to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Stir in the cooked egg noodles, canned tuna (or flaked salmon), lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to combine and heat through for another 1-2 minutes.
Divide the noodles between two bowls and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
