Choose wild-caught salmon for this recipe. It has the best flavor, and it offers great nutrition including omega-3 fatty acids. The lemon and dill in the zucchini noodles are the perfect complement to the delicate flesh of the salmon.

In most crab cake recipes, bread crumbs keep the cakes light. Here, low-carb almond meal replaces the bread crumbs. Spiralized carrots cut into julienne add the perfect crunch and flavor.
