About Tilapia with pesto and parmesan

Tilapia with Pesto and Parmesan combines light, flaky tilapia fillets with the rich, herbal flavors of basil pesto and a savory layer of grated Parmesan cheese. Rooted in Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, this dish is both simple and flavorful, pairing lean protein with heart-healthy ingredients. Tilapia is low in calories and fat while offering a good amount of protein, making it a great choice for those seeking a balanced meal. The addition of pesto, typically made with olive oil, basil, garlic, and pine nuts, contributes healthy fats and antioxidants. Parmesan cheese adds a burst of umami but should be consumed in moderation due to its sodium and fat content.

Overall, it’s a quick, nutrient-packed option suitable for a variety of meal plans.
