Red snapper fillet with zoodles

Since the start of the pandemic, I’ve enjoyed experimenting with new foods and exciting gadgets. My favorite gadget is a spiralizer. Spiralizers are available at Amazon and other major retail outlets.

I love my spiralizer, which has become my go-to gadget for fun vegetable dishes. It updates bland vegetables, like cucumber, carrots, squash and zucchini and elevates the vegetable eating experience for the entire family. Zoodles (zucchini noodles) are my favorite to make.

I’ve made a few exciting dishes with zoodles. One that I make regularly is zoodles with grilled, sauteed, roasted or baked fish. It’s very simple to execute. I lightly saute the zucchini noodles with just a little oil, salt and pepper, and top it with my favorite fish.

I mostly use salmon for this dish but have recently introduced other fish like snapper and Chilean sea bass. I truly enjoy preparing my fish Mediterranean style. I use ingredients like kalamata olives, olive oil, garlic, cherry or grape tomatoes, capers, salt, pepper, parsley and lemon. It’s easy yet packed with lots of flavors. Since I often bake my Mediterranean fish, I’ve done it only a few times on the stovetop, yet it still tastes delicious.

Here’s how I created this meal:
