About Grilled mussel

Grilled mussels are a flavorful seafood dish, often associated with Mediterranean and coastal cuisines, where fresh shellfish is a staple. Prepared by cooking mussels directly on a grill, they develop a smoky, charred flavor while retaining their natural brininess. Common seasonings include olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, herbs, and occasionally spices, lending a fresh and aromatic touch. Mussels are an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals like iron, zinc, and selenium, which support heart health, immunity, and energy production. They're low in fat and calories, making them a nutritious option for seafood lovers. However, they can be high in sodium and cholesterol, so moderate consumption is recommended for individuals with specific dietary concerns. Grilled mussels pair beautifully with fresh salads or whole-grain sides, offering a balanced and wholesome meal for health-conscious eaters.
