Directions
1. Wash and julienne zucchini into long strips, without peeling. Heat a large pot of salted water.
2. Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Drizzle salmon with olive oil and season with sea salt, pepper, and Cajun spice blend. Roast in the oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the fish reaches the desired doneness.
3. While salmon is roasting, briefly cook the zucchini in boiling water—3 minutes maximum, then drain and arrange on serving plates.
4. Remove fish from oven and transfer onto zucchini noodles. Sprinkle with crushed pink peppercorns and serve.
Note: You can use frozen salmon fillets; just put them straight in the oven and roast for an additional 3-4 minutes.
