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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by spiralizing the zucchini into noodle shapes using a spiralizer or julienne peeler and set aside.
Step 2
Season the salmon fillet with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic cloves. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 7
Stir in the lemon juice and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and gently stir into the zucchini and sauce mixture.
Step 10
Sprinkle with fresh dill and serve immediately.
