Easy Body Building Tilapia Recipe

Tilapia’s popularity is due to its versatility and high nutrition content–high in protein and low in fat and sodium. Due to its popularity, genetically pure bloodlines are virtually non-existent with most wild varieties being hybrids of several species. Wild tilapia rarely accumulate toxins, particularly mercury, from their food in their bodies. Organically raised tilapia, though more expensive due to more meticulous farming methods are also in demand especially with those very particular with how their food are produced. So for the healthy recipes, I prefer organically raised tilapia.

Nutrition-wise, it is a great choice vitamins and minerals such as phosphorus, niacin, selenium, vitamin B12 and potassium with little or no risk of toxic mercury which is significant in larger salt water fish. It can be consumed safely in significant quantities as part of a healthy, balanced diet–and it tastes good, versatile enough to be prepared in a multitude of fish recipes.
