Let’s Make Some Zucchini Alfredo Noodles!

In order to get this done in 20 minutes you have to get a couple pans going. Start with spraying a saute pan with cooking oil and lay your salmon skin side up. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes each side. Makes sure to sprinkle some salt and pepper on it first.

While that is cooking get your alfredo sauce made. I made mine in a small pot but I think you should make it in a large pan or skillet. Once you have the sauce made, add in the zucchini noodles. Mix well and then turn down the heat if the salmon isn’t done.

Once the salmon is done, take it off the stove and cut up into big chunks. Carefully fold the salmon into zucchini noodles and serve!

Other Recipes That Use This Keto Alfredo Sauce

I used this keto alfredo sauce with chicken and I also made slow cooker power greens. You could really use the sauce on any vegetable that are made into veggie noodles or just top off steamed vegetables. I had some leftover cauliflower rice and just mixed it with a little of this sauce and it was great.

Recipe Notes And Tips

I used 3 medium sized zucchinis to make the zucchini noodles and it came to about 4 cups. I think you could add more zucchini if you wanted to stretch this recipe but that was all I had.
Or you could not use all of the sauce and use it with other recipes.
I used my Paderno spiralizer to make the zucchini noodles but if you don’t have one try just using a vegetable peeler and make wide zucchini noodles.
Try to use fresh salmon as that will have the best taste in this recipe.
You could also substitute chicken or shrimp for the if you wish.
And if you are not low carb, simple add cooked fettuccine instead of the zucchini noodles.
