Ingredients
- 2 large or 4 small zucchini
- 4 (5-ounce) fillets fresh salmon
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
- 2 teaspoons fresh oregano leaves
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 4 to 6 large fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Boil or microwave the whole zucchini until just cooked through. Allow to cool enough to slice into thin strips. Set aside.
- Remove the skin and bones from the salmon. Combine the pepper, mustard seeds, and oregano and press onto the salmon tops to coat. Heat the oil in a nonstick pan and cook the salmon for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a baking dish and keep warm in a very low oven.
- Pour the red wine into the pan and cook until the wine reduces and thickens. Return the zucchini strips to a separate saucepan with a little water or stock and the basil and reheat. Serve the salmon over the zucchini and spoon over the red wine sauce.

Reviews
This was an awesome healthy meal, but might be a bit much for the kiddos. The red wine sauce is good, but without is just as nice.
If you can’t stand some serious texture to your food, this isn’t the one for you. If you like bold flavor and you like to FEEL your food in your mouth, watch out — this is a good meal.
Anyone who likes salmon and even those who don’t will like this dish as it takes away “the fish taste”. Many compliments
this looks good.
it haas no real kick in the flavor to me. the topping is very bland and dull to me
For a newbie in the ktichen this was so very easy and so pretty to serve! I highly recommend it!
I made it with salmon as called for – but experimented with the process on halibut – not a wise decision. The salmon was much hardier and appropriate to the flavors of the recipe ingredients! Even though I’m generally not a fan of the strong flavor of salmon – this was a highly complimentary flavor and preparation which made me enjoy salmon!
This has wonderful falvor. however I cooked the salmon well done.
Fast & easy.
