    Pistachio and Herb Crusted Salmon is a heart healthy restaurant meal at home but full of heart healthy fat, whole grains, and antioxidants 

    Salmon, pistachios, garlic, parsley, and whole wheat bread - all heart healthy ingredients:

    • Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D, and Vitamin B12
    • Pistachios are full of heart-healthy fat, potassium, Vitamin B6, fiber, and phytosterols (compounds that help block the absorption of cholesterol)
    • Parsley contains antioxidants, Vitamin K, and folate (which can help reduce your risk of heart attacks & strokes)
    • Garlic has been shown to help reduce blood pressure and decrease LDL (bad) cholesterol
    • Whole wheat bread is a whole grain and full of heart-healthy fiber

    Basically, this recipe is a lot of heart-healthy things in one meal!

    But who cares if there are a lot of beneficial nutrients or whatever in something if it doesn't taste good?

    Food isn't just about good nutrition; it needs to taste and look pretty, too {in my opinion}. Well, I think this meal looks like something from a restaurant.

    I know salmon isn't a top choice on most people's favorite restaurant meals, but even if you don't like salmon, this is really good! And it looks like it took a lot of effort, but it's easy!

    I like to serve it with a salad, usually a spinach salad, and some roasted potatoes (full of heart-healthy potassium). You could also roast any other vegetable to serve with your salmon.
