A delightful and easy-to-make fish dish featuring tilapia fillets topped with toasted almonds and a tangy lemon butter sauce.
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown too much; it should be melted and slightly foamy.
Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
Seasoning both sides ensures even flavor throughout the fillet.
Place the tilapia fillets in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Remove the cooked fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Keep the fish warm by covering it with aluminum foil.
Add the sliced almonds to the skillet and toast them lightly, stirring frequently.
Toast the almonds until they are golden and fragrant for the best flavor.
Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the skillet and stir to combine with the almonds and remaining butter.
Adjust the lemon juice to taste for a more or less tangy sauce.
Spoon the almond and lemon butter mixture over the cooked tilapia fillets and serve immediately.
Serve with a garnish of fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
