Nutritional values

This particularly aromatic dish contains hardly any fat, but plenty of niacin, vitamin C, and potassium. Niacin belongs to the B-vitamins and is needed to gain energy from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, Vitamin C supplies our cells with oxygen and supports the immune system, and potassium has a positive effect on blood pressure.

If you want to improve your iodine intake, replace the freshwater fish tilapia with a lean sea fish such as pollack, and use salt with added iodine to season it.
