Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each) dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp fresh ginger, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, and 1 tbsp avocado oil to form a paste. Rub evenly over salmon.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 6 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook 4 more minutes until opaque.
  3. Step 3: While salmon cooks, spiralize 2 medium zucchinis into noodles. Sauté 2 minced garlic cloves in the same skillet for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add zucchini noodles and cook for 2 minutes until tender-crisp.
