Salmon with Zucchini Noodles in a Lemon Cream Sauce

All of these flavours just work! It's creamy, lemony and delicious! A perfect light meal when you don't have a lot of time.

Note: We have checked this as Paleo and AIP even though there is wine in the ingredients as the alcohol does cook out.

Tip: If you don't have a spiraliser for the zucchini you can use a shark style julienne peeler.
