Although salmon certainly has many different nutritional and health benefits, so does tilapia. On average tilapia has more protein and less overall fat than salmon, though with salmon a lot of the fat content is “healthy” types of fat that are actually good for the body. There is also more cholesterol in salmon than there is in tilapia, though there is still not a very significant amount in salmon.

There are many different nutritional/health benefits to eating both these kinds of fish, so you will want to seriously thing about including both of them in your diet. Salmon does however contain a little bit more potassium than tilapia, so it definitely has its nutritional benefits.
