Zoodles with Burst Tomatoes and Grilled Salmon
Serves 4-6
40 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 lb slab of salmon
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 5 tsp Maldon sea salt
- 1 ½ tsp pepper
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves

- 2 tsp Maldon sea salt
- 1 batch burst heirloom tomatoes
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Lay salmon on top of a large sheet of parchment paper, with an equal amount of aluminum foil below it. Drizzle olive oil and juice of 1 lemon over the salmon, and season with 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper. Scatter lemon slices over top. Fold parchment paper over salmon to create a sealed pouch, then do the same with the foil. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.*
- Combine basil, shallot, red wine vinegar, 1 tsp salt & ½ tsp pepper in a blender. Turn blender on and drizzle in olive oil through the opening in the blender lid. Blend just enough so that small bits of basil are still visible.
- Cut off the top and bottom of each zucchini, and use a spiralizer machine to cut each into strings of spaghetti. Toss with juice of 1 lemon and 2 tsp Maldon sea salt, and let sit for 15 minutes before tossing with basil vinaigrette.
- Place zoodles in a serving bowl and top with chunks of salmon and 1 batch of burst heirloom tomatoes.
* Got your grill fired up already? Place the salmon pouch directly on a hot grill, close the lid, and cook for 15-20 minutes.
