For an even richer flavor, toast the almonds lightly before blending. If fresh lemongrass is unavailable, substitute with 1 teaspoon of lemongrass paste. Serve over jasmine rice for an authentic Thai experience. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for added brightness. To make it vegan, replace the Tilapia fillets with firm tofu.
