What’s the serving size?
Serves 4
What do I need?
- 4 Huon Salmon portions, skin on
- 4 small zucchini, cut into noodles * (about 4 cups)
- 1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup mint leaves
- ¼ cup toasted hazelnuts, lightly chopped
- 80g Danish feta cheese
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
How do I make it?
- In a large bowl combine zucchini noodles, tomatoes, mint, hazelnuts and feta cheese. Toss with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season to taste.
- Season the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt. Heat the remaining oil and butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once the butter starts bubbling, add the salmon, skin-side-down, and fry for 4 minutes until crisp. Flip the salmon over, reduce heat and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Remove from heat then pour over the remaining lemon juice. Transfer the salmon to a serving plate and baste with any of the buttery juices left in the pan.
- Serve with the zucchini noodles on the side.
*There’s lots of fancy gadgets that make zucchini noodles, but a julienne peeler works just as well or you can use a regular vegetable peeler to make ribbons.
