Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Put bread in a food processor and pulse until it forms coarse crumbs.

You should have about 1 cup crumbs.

Spread crumbs on a rimmed baking sheet and toast them while the oven preheats, until browned and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Thinly slice 2 garlic cloves and add to the skillet with the onion.

Cook 7 to 8 minutes or until beginning to brown, stirring occasionally.

Stir in green beans and 1/4 cup water.

Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until green beans are just tender, stirring once halfway through cooking.

Stir in almonds and black pepper. Cover and keep warm.

While the beans cook, crush remaining 2 garlic cloves with a garlic press or grate with a fine grater into a small bowl.

Add toasted bread crumbs, parsley and lemon zest and stir until blended.

Cut tilapia fillets into 8 serving pieces.

Place tilapia on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and drizzle with lemon juice.

Press bread crumb mixture on top of fillets and bake 8 to 9 minutes or until flesh is opaque. Serve with green beans.
