Heat the oil in a pan, add the crushed garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes. Add in the zoodles and stir occasionally until softened, but still firm, for about 3-4 minutes. Towards the end add the chopped tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat the oven to 250C and place the salmon on a baking tray or casserole dish. Bake for about 7 minutes.
Remove the salmon from the oven to rest for a moment, and in the meantime pour in the salmon juices into the quinoa, mixing well.
Divide the quinoa and zoodles between two plates, then place the salmon on top, sprinkle with chili flakes, to serve.
Enjoy!
