About Pesto salmon
Pesto salmon is a flavorful dish that combines the rich taste of salmon with the aromatic notes of basil pesto, typically inspired by Mediterranean and Italian cuisine. This dish features a salmon fillet generously coated with pesto sauce, often made from fresh basil, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and pine nuts. The salmon is either oven-baked or grilled, creating a tender, flaky texture with a slightly crispy topping. As a nutrient-packed meal, it's an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and essential vitamins like B12 and D. The pesto adds heart-healthy fats from olive oil and pine nuts, though it can be calorie-dense depending on the amount used. Pesto salmon is a well-rounded dish that supports brain health and heart function, making it popular among those seeking flavorful, nutritious options. Pairing it with roasted vegetables or a light salad enhances its health benefits.
