Baking Whole Fish - Tilapia

Hi!Back again!!After a many days i am happy to post again..
Fish is an excellent source of protein and can provide heart-healthy benefits -- depending on the type of fish you eat and How you eat. Some types of fish are high in mercury, and some can actually raise cholesterol levels.Types of fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids include salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, sardines and tuna always good to eat.
Baking, grilling or broil fish instead of frying it,is always an healthier option. and tastier too.Broiling or baking fish will keep your meal heart-healthy because it doesn't require butter,vegetable shortening,coconut oil or palm oil, all of which contain saturated fat.

Cook fish in olive oil and lemon instead of butter or shortening. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fats, which can lower bad cholesterol that accumulates in the bloodstream.
