About Pesto crusted salmon

Pesto Crusted Salmon is a flavorful dish that combines nutrient-rich salmon with a vibrant, herb-packed pesto topping. Originating from Italian-inspired cuisine, the dish features a fillet of fresh salmon coated with a blend of basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and breadcrumbs, then baked to a perfect golden crust. Salmon is a powerhouse of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, promoting heart health and brain function. The pesto provides antioxidants from fresh herbs and healthy fats from olive oil and nuts, further enhancing its nutritional value. While delicious, the dish’s calorie content can be higher if large amounts of Parmesan and oil are used, so portion size and ingredient balance are key. This dish is a wholesome and flavorful way to enjoy a blend of Mediterranean flavors while supporting overall well-being.
