Steps:
- Place the almonds and breadcrumbs in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground into a crumb-like mixture. Place the crumb mixture on a plate or in a shallow bowl.
- Heat oil and butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Spread each tilapia filet with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard on both sides. Press the tilapia into the crumbs to get it coated on both sides. I usually do this several times to make sure the whole thing gets covered.
- Place the fish into the frying pan and cook for several minutes on each side, until the outside is browned and the fish is fully cooked. I usually just check the middle of the fish for doneness - pieces will flake off easily when it's done.
- Serve with parmesan, sea salt, or lemon.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F; line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil and cut off an additional 4 squares of foil to make fish packets.
- Melt butter in olive oil over low heat; brush foil squares with just a small amount of this mixture (the remainder will be used for the sauce) - alternatively, you can spray the foil with cooking spray.
- Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper; lay one fillet on each foil square and grate the lemon zest over each.
- Close up packets and arrange on a prepared baking sheet; bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place cauliflower florets, onion, and tomatoes in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil; arrange, in a single layer, on the other prepared baking sheet.

- Once fish and vegetables are done, place almonds in remaining olive oil/butter mixture and heat just until almonds are golden, only about 1 minute - be careful, they burn easily (even if they do brown, they are still good).
- Open packets and plate fish with cauliflower mix along side; top with sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
