Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Place 2 salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over salmon, then season with 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Bake for 15-18 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Step 2: While salmon bakes, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 cups spiralized zucchini noodles, 1 tsp lemon zest, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sauté noodles for 3-4 minutes until just tender.
Step 3: Remove skillet from heat and stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill. Plate zucchini noodles topped with baked salmon fillets and garnish with additional dill if desired.
