Notes
- Nutritional facts:
- Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is calculated using a nutrition facts calculator. It is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- For best zoodles use a spiralizer.
- Spiralize the zucchini raw, before cooking. Do not peel it.
- Pat zoodles dry with paper towels after spiralizing them.
- Cut your zoodles into 6-inch noodles, for easier eating.
- The zoodles only need a couple of minutes to cook, longer than that and they can become too watery.
- Don't overcrowd the zoodles! Cook them in batches if you have to, make sure there’s lots of room. You want as much surface area of the zoodles touching the pan as possible.
- Don't overcook the salmon, it only needs a few mins.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Include a slice of lime or lemon in the meal prep containers so they can squeeze a bit of zest on the salmon.
- If making this meal for meal prep, you can store it in the fridge for up to 3 days
