With every bite of this Walnut Pesto Salmon with Hemp Seeds, you are getting a rich variety of omega 3’s and heart healthy fats.

Salmon, olive oil, walnuts, and hemp seeds are all loaded with unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, aka “the good fats”. Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of unsaturated fatty acid that may reduce inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation in the body can damage your blood vessels and lead to heart disease and strokes. Scientists also believe these fats help lower your overall cholesterol.

A diet rich in omega-3 fatty foods is very popular in the Mediterranean diet. Basil is also part of this heart healthy mix. Basil brings an array of vitamins and antioxidants to the dish.

I try to encourage my clients to buy wild caught salmon. Wild caught salmon are happier, healthier, free-roaming fish and deliver a more salmon-y flavor and color. Their flavor will be more savory and complex. Their texture will be leaner and flakier.

This dish is not only super heart healthy, but it’s also really easy and quick to put together and its wonderfully delicious. A definite crowd pleaser!

Ingredients:
2 3-4 ounce portions of wild caught Salmon
1 teaspoon of your favorite seafood seasoning
1 teaspoon fennel pollen
½ cup walnut pieces
