For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the almond-Parmesan mixture. Ensure your butter is hot, but not burned, before adding the tilapia to achieve the perfect golden-brown crust. Don't overcrowd the pan; cook the tilapia in batches to maintain the heat and ensure even cooking. Serve with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.
