Looking for a quick and simple keto-friendly meal? This recipe for Steamed Curry Tilapia Fillets cooked in a herb-infused foil pouch is ideal for lunch or dinner.
Tilapia fish has always been at the center of controversy for the potential dangers of eating tilapia. However, Tilapia is in the top 5 most commonly consumed fish in the United States.
They are inexpensive and are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Nonetheless, many people still think they are bad for your health.
Farmed Raised Tilapia
The majority of Tilapia fish are farm-raised. As with most farm-raised fish, certain farming practices, such as what fish are fed and how they are grown on a fish farm, can lead to toxic chemical contamination.
However, many tilapia farmers today are taking great measures to ensure they produce safe and healthy tilapia fish for consumption.
Mercury and Tilapia Fish
Tilapia is very low in mercury, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Consumption of fish high in mercury can be very harmful to your health. As a result of the low mercury content of tilapia fish, it is safer for young children and pregnant women to eat.
Tilapia is a freshwater fish that is widely available in supermarkets and fish markets. Furthermore, they are very versatile and can be baked, steamed, fried, or poached to create a delectable meal.
I most often fry them to make tacos or fish sandwiches. They pair very well with my Jamaican Escovitch Spicy Pickled Vegetables.
I hope you enjoy this delicious steamed curry tilapia recipe.

I love fish and I love a good foil meal, so this recipe sounds perfect! I have never tried curry with my fish, but I love the idea. We will have to give this a try! 🙂
I have to admit, I’m surprised with tilapia – this fish is not that commonly known in place where I’m from, even if my family is huge fan of it. I’ll have to try this recipe!
Thank You Mina
This is a great recipe! But what is Sazon seasoning?
Thank you, Elodie. Sazon is a powdered seasoning made of dried herbs
The final dish looked so yummy. Great recipe.
Thank you Dominique
I love using aluminum foil to wrap things in for cooking! It preserves the flavor and keeps the food from drying out. This recipe sounds absolutely delicious; I’ll have to try it the next time I make tilapia.
Thank you FlawlessWorld. Glad my recipe was an inspiration.
