Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat salmon fillets dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon skin-side down and cook 4-5 minutes until golden, then flip and cook 3-4 minutes more until opaque.
  2. Step 2: While salmon cooks, heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add 2 medium spiralized zucchini noodles and 1 tablespoon chopped dill, sautéing 2-3 minutes until tender but crisp. Stir in 1 tablespoon grated ginger and 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice, cooking 30 seconds until fragrant and edges are slightly caramelized.
  3. Step 3: Plate salmon with zucchini noodles, garnish with lemon zest, and serve immediately while salmon is juicy and noodles are tender-crisp.
