  • 1 zucchini

  • 1⁄2 tbsp. olive oil

  • 1 garlic clove, crushed

  • 1 tbsp. rice vinegar

  • 1 tsp. honey

  • 1 tbsp. black sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Mix together the ingredients of the marinade and cover

the salmon to marinate for about 1 hour.

2. While the salmon is marinating, cook the quinoa and

spiralize the zucchini.

3. Heat the oil in the pan, add the crushed garlic and fry

for 1-2 minutes. Add in the zoodles and stir

occasionally until it softens (about 3-4 minutes).

Towards the end add the chopped tomatoes, and

season with salt and pepper, to taste.

on a baking tray or casserole dish. Bake for about 7

minutes.

5. Remove the salmon from the oven to rest for a

moment. In the meantime, pour in the salmon juices

into the quinoa, and mix well.

6. Divide the quinoa and zoodles between two plates,

then place the salmon on top. Sprinkle with chili flakes

to serve.
