Makes 4 servings
What you need
1 pound zucchini
coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cup Tessemae’s Soy Ginger
4 salmon filets (about 6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon oil
What you do
- Inspiralize the zucchini or use a box grater turned sideways to cut long strands.
- Transfer zoodles to a bowl and gently stir in ¼ cup Soy Ginger; set aside.
- Pat salmon filets dry with a paper towel; sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon filets, skin-side down, in pan and press down using spatula. Immediately reduce heat to medium-low and continue pressing down on filets until skin is crispy and flesh is lightened about ¾ of the way up the sides, about 6 minutes.
- Flip fish over and cook until fully cooked through (about 125 degrees), about another 2-3 minutes more.
- Remove salmon from pan and drizzle each filet with 1 tablespoon Soy Ginger and serve salmon alongside zoodles.
