Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place 12 oz salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Rub 1 tsp turmeric and 2 tbsp olive oil over salmon, then squeeze juice from 1 lemon over top. Add 2 minced garlic cloves to the pan.
Step 2: Roast for 12-14 minutes until salmon is opaque at the thickest part and flakes easily with a fork, basting with pan juices halfway through.
Step 3: While salmon cooks, spiralize 2 medium zucchinis into noodles. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add zucchini noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still crisp, stirring frequently to avoid mushiness.
