About Salmon and pesto
Salmon and pesto is a flavorful dish combining tender, nutrient-rich salmon with a vibrant basil pesto sauce. Salmon, a staple in both Mediterranean and Nordic cuisines, is prized for its high omega-3 fatty acid content, which supports heart health and brain function. The dish features pesto, a traditional Italian condiment made from fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil, offering antioxidant-rich properties and healthy fats. Often served with roasted vegetables, whole grains, or pasta, it strikes a balance between indulgence and nutrition. While salmon provides lean protein and essential vitamins like B12 and D, the pesto adds healthy monounsaturated fats but can be calorie-dense due to the oil and cheese. For a lighter option, consider reducing the amount of oil or using nutritional yeast as a cheese substitute. Overall, Salmon and Pesto is a delicious and nutritionally beneficial choice when eaten in proper portions.
