I think the current vegetable ‘noodle’ craze is just fabulous. Such a wonderful way to lighten up a menu and also, to use the season’s best veggies in new and interesting ways.  This recipe uses thinly sliced zucchini and fresh fennel as the faux noodle base of the salad, which is flavored with a homemade citrus vinaigrette and fresh dill.  You don’t need a spiralizer for this salad either; simply an everyday vegetable peeler will do just fine.  On top of the crunchy salad are pan-seared or grilled salmon filets that have been coated with a light dusting of brown sugar which caramelizes very nicely when cooked.  Healthy, fresh and delicious!
