How to Make Citrus Salmon with Zucchini Noodles

Ingredients

• 1 fresh lime, juiced and zested
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil for cooking
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 large salmon fillets
• 2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized

• Salt, to taste
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil for cooking
• Fresh thyme sprig (optional garnish)

To prepare the marinade
1. Heat half of the coconut oil in a pan, add the garlic clove and gradually add half the lime juice to achieve a smooth consistency. Finally, add the dried oregano.
2. Place the salmon into a glass baking dish and add the marinade. Coat each salmon fillet with the marinade and cover the dish. Transfer to the fridge and allow the salmon to marinate for about 3 hours.
3. Use a spiralizer, mandolin or vegetable peeler to create noodles or strips from the zucchini.
4. Preheat the oven to 450°F/230°C. Take the marinated salmon out of the fridge, ensure the salmon is skin-side down and spoon more sauce over the top of the salmon. Place the dish in the center of the oven and bake for about 11–13 minutes.
5. Sauté the zucchini in the remaining coconut oil and lime juice for about 3–4 minutes, ensuring the noodles receive a good coating of the juices.
6. Divide the zucchini noodles between two plates or bowls and pour the remaining marinade over the top. Place a salmon fillet on top of each plate or bowl of noodles. Add salt to taste and garnish with a fresh thyme sprig to serve.
