Garlic-Herb Tilapia with Almonds

Garlic-Herb Tilapia with Almonds

When you’re aiming for clean, nourishing meals that don’t sacrifice flavor, this Garlic-Herb Tilapia with Almonds checks every box. It’s light yet satisfying, rich in lean protein, and full of fresh, vibrant flavor thanks to a blend of garlic, herbs, and a squeeze of lemon. Toasted almonds add a delicate crunch and healthy fats, making this dish as heart-smart as it is delicious.

Tilapia is a low-calorie, high-protein fish that’s naturally low in fat and a great source of selenium, B12, and phosphorus—key nutrients for energy metabolism and immune support. Garlic brings powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits, while the combination of parsley, thyme, and oregano adds both depth and antioxidant properties. A drizzle of olive oil ties everything together with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.

Ready in under 20 minutes, this dish is perfect for busy weeknights, elegant enough for guests, and clean enough to fit into any wellness routine. Serve it with your favorite veggies or a light grain for a complete, feel-good meal.
