About Baked pesto salmon

Baked Pesto Salmon is a flavorful dish that combines the richness of salmon with the vibrant, herbaceous taste of fresh pesto. Originating from Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, this recipe features tender salmon fillets topped with a blend of basil, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and pine nuts before being baked to perfection. Salmon is an excellent source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, and essential vitamins such as B12 and D. The pesto adds a dose of healthy fats from olive oil and nuts, while basil provides antioxidants. However, the dish can be higher in sodium due to the Parmesan cheese and may include added fats depending on the amount of pesto used. Pair it with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced and nutritious meal that supports overall wellness and satisfies the palate.
