Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, lemon zest, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pat salmon fillets dry and press into the herb mixture to coat evenly. Place on prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 12 15 minutes or until desired doneness is reached. While salmon bakes, use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add zucchini noodles and sauté until just tender, about 3 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve salmon fillets atop zucchini noodles, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges.
