Grilled Tilapia with Garlic & Lemon for High Blood Pressure
Tilapia fillets brushed with garlic, olive oil, and lemon, then grilled until flaky — a light, low-sodium dinner for blood pressure.

This tilapia leans on garlic and citrus instead of salt to carry the flavor, which is really the whole idea behind a recipe tagged for high blood pressure.
Tilapia itself is a lean, mild fish, so a bright garlic-lemon brush-on does most of the work here rather than a heavy marinade. The recipe calls for a salt substitute or just a small pinch of regular salt, which fits a heart-healthy, lower-sodium approach without leaving the fish bland — black pepper and a little paprika pick up the slack instead. It grills in well under fifteen minutes total, so it's an easy weeknight option that still feels like a proper dinner.
Let the fish rest for a couple of minutes after grilling, then serve with lemon wedges and a scatter of fresh parsley or coriander.
