      1. Step 1: Fill a large pot or saucepan with water, season it well and place on a high temp to boil.
      2. Step 2: Heat a pan over medium heat with olive oil. Season the salmon with salt and place skin down into the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked to your liking.
      3. Step 3: While the fish is cooking, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions.
      4. Step 4: Once the salmon is cooked, remove from the pan and set aside. Add the sliced zucchini to the same pan the fish was cooking in and saute for 3-4 minutes or until you have good colour.
      5. Step 5: Season the zucchinis with salt, black pepper and the zest of the lemon.
      6. Step 6: Add the cooked and drained pasta, and the baby spinach to the pan with the zucchinis and toss.
      7. Step 7: Finish with a last drizzle of olive oil and the juice of the lemon.
