Have I told you that salmon is definitely one of my favorite types of fish? That is why I always look for ways to integrate it into my diet, since it is an excellent source of protein, and luckily around here I can find Alaska salmon in several Farmers Markets. The color and taste of this fish makes it worth buying. In addition, the Alaska fish are sustainable, and among the varieties of salmon you can find coho, keta, and pink, but this time I chose the King variety.
That is why I wanted to prepare a very simple dish, and for this I used zucchinis along with a spiral machine, with which I made my spaghetti. And to make it even tastier, I opted for a very simple-to-make avocado sauce with Greek yogurt. For the salmon I only used salt and pepper, and I was able to prepare it using just a non-stick frying pan with a little bit of coconut oil spray. Once it was done, I gave it a little splash of lemon juice on top.
It really was an excellent combination and dish overall.
