Preparation
Mise en place
Heat the BBQ on high, making sure to oil the grill first. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the stem ends of the green beans; halve crosswise on an angle. Juice the lemon. Thinly slice the endive crosswise. In a large bowl, combine the mayo, ½ the lemon juice and S&P.
Blanch the green beans
Add the green beans 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.
Grill the tilapia
Meanwhile, pat the tilapia* dry and drizzle with oil; season with the spices and S&P. Add to the BBQ and grill, 2 to 3 min. per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Grill the buns
Add the buns, cut-sides down, to the BBQ and grill, 1 to 2 min., until warmed through.
Make the green bean salad
Meanwhile, in a second large bowl, combine the remaining lemon juice and 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions). Add the green beans and S&P.
Finish & serve
To the bowl of lemon mayo, add the endive. Divide the green bean salad and bun bottoms between your plates. Top each bun bottom with the tilapia (halve crosswise if large), endive mixture and a bun top. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking fish to a minimum internal temperature of 70°C.
