    How To Make Stuffed Salmon Zucchini Boats

    Step 1

    To get started, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) and line a baking tray with baking paper.

    Step 2

    Zucchinis cut in half with flesh scooped out

    Wash and cut your zucchini in half lengthwise, then scoop out the flesh using a spoon and set it aside. Place the zucchini halves on the lined baking tray.

    Step 3

    Finely chop the zucchini flesh you scooped out and heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Add the zucchini flesh and the salmon fillets then sauté for 3 to 5 minutes seasoning with salt and pepper. Use a fork to flake the salmon fillets while they're cooking and add the minced garlic.

    Stir in the marinara sauce to the zucchini salmon mixture and mix everything together until well combined.
