Slice them into rounds and cook as you prefer, being careful not to let them soften too much.
We chose microwave cooking at 800w for 11 minutes in several steps, after placing the zucchini on a crisp plate with water.
Turn occasionally.
Transfer to a bowl and let cool, then add the salmon cut as you like, the onion cut into rings, and the cleaned arugula.

Microwave Cooking Alternatives
You can cook the zucchini in a pan with two tablespoons of oil, salt, and onion cut into rings, adding three tablespoons of water.
They should soften but not too much, so 15 minutes over low heat, stirring often, will be enough.
In a ventilated hot oven with oil and salt at 356°F for 15-20 minutes. Turn halfway through cooking.
In an air fryer for 6 minutes at 338°F with oil and salt.
