Instructions
1

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create a herb-infused oil.

2

Place 2 salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the herb-infused oil generously over the salmon fillets.

3

Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the salmon for added brightness. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

4

While the salmon is baking, spiralize 2 medium zucchinis to create zucchini noodles. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.

5

Add 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter for about 3-4 minutes until just tender.

6

Season the zucchini noodles with salt and pepper to taste. Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

7

Serve the salmon on a bed of garlic lemon zucchini noodles, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges for a pop of color and flavor.
