Preparation
Cook the rice
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. In a second medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ¼ cups water and 1 tsp salt (double the water and salt for 4 portions); bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Blanch the green beans
Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the green beans. Add to the pot of boiling water and boil, 2 to 3 min., until crisp-tender. Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Once cool, drain and pat dry with paper towel.
Toast the almonds
Meanwhile, heat a large, dry pan (non-stick if possible) on medium. Add the almonds (roughly chop if whole) and toast, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until lightly browned and fragrant. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Cook the tilapia
Pat the tilapia dry with paper towel; season with ½ the spices and S&P. In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the tilapia* and cook, 2 to 3 min. per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Make the green goddess sauce
Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallions crosswise. Roughly chop the dill stems and fronds. Halve the lemon; juice ½ and quarter the remaining ½. In a small bowl, combine the labneh, dill, lemon juice, ½ the scallions, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P.
Finish & serve
To the pot of rice, add the remaining scallions. Divide the rice, tilapia and green beans between your plates. Drizzle with the green goddess sauce. Garnish with the almonds and lemon wedges. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking fish to a minimum internal temperature of 70°C.
