Method

Salad Plates

  1. 1

    Prepare lemon-dill mayo spread

    In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped dill until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Season the tilapia

    In a small dish, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Brush tilapia fillets with olive oil on both sides, then rub the spice mix evenly onto both sides.

  3. 3

    Cook the tilapia

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a light layer of olive oil. Cook tilapia 3-4 minutes per side, until opaque and flaky. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Toast buns and prep toppings

    Lightly toast buns until golden. Rinse and pat lettuce leaves dry. Slice tomato into rounds. Slice avocado if using.

  5. 5

    Assemble the sandwich

    Spread lemon-dill mayo on the cut sides of the buns. Layer lettuce on bottom halves, add tomato slices, place the tilapia fillet, then top with avocado slices and pickles if using. Cap with the top halves.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate each sandwich on a salad plate and serve immediately.
