Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place 6 oz salmon fillet on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then brush with 1 tbsp avocado oil.
- Step 2: Sprinkle 1/2 tsp ground turmeric, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp lemon zest over salmon; rub gently to coat evenly.
- Step 3: Bake for 12-14 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, checking at 10 minutes.
- Step 4: While salmon cooks, spiralize 2 medium zucchinis into noodles. Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat, add zucchini noodles, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp but not mushy.
- Step 5: Plate zucchini noodles, top with baked salmon, and garnish with 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill just before serving.
