About Tilapia filet

Tilapia filet is a versatile and protein-rich option popular in cuisines worldwide, particularly in African, Asian, and Latin American cooking. This mild-flavored white fish is low in calories and fat, offering approximately 23 grams of protein per 3-ounce serving, making it an excellent choice for muscle building and weight management. It’s also a good source of selenium, phosphorus, and B vitamins, which support cellular function and metabolism. However, tilapia contains relatively low levels of omega-3 fatty acids compared to other fatty fish like salmon. Farming practices can influence its nutritional profile, so sourcing sustainably-raised tilapia is recommended to avoid excess contaminants. Easy to cook via grilling, broiling, or baking, tilapia adapts well to a variety of seasonings, earning a place in heart-healthy diets when prepared with minimal added fats or sodium.
