Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Fry the garlic in butter in a large frying pan over medium heat for a few minutes. Add the heavy whipping cream and crumbled blue cheese. Stir together and let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the broccoli and simmer for 5 more minutes.
- Finally, add the salmon and simmer for 5 minutes until the fish is cooked through and the broccoli is tender. Season with salt and pepper. Lower the heat to keep the sauce warm for serving.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the zoodles in the boiling water for one minute, and then drain in a colander.
- Divide zoodles onto individual plates, or on a big serving platter. Pour the creamy salmon sauce over the zoodles. Enjoy!
Shrimp would also be a good substitute.
