2.  In a small bowl, combine Dijon, oil, garlic, parsley, oregano, thyme, rosemary and garlic

3.  Layer the zucchini on the bottom of the pan then place the salmon on top of the zucchini. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste

4.  Top fish with marinade distributing it evenly between the fish and top with sliced lemons

5.  Bake in the oven at 180 C 20-25 minutes until fish is flaky and zucchini is tender

6.  Serve immediately with more sliced lemon and parsley
