2 tablespoons chives
1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning

Instructions

• For the Tilapia:
• In a large pot, add lemons, limes, thyme and garlic to one quart of water. Bring to simmer.

• When cool, gently flake into large pieces and toss in a touch of lemon juice and olive oil.
• For the Dressing:
• Whisk all dressing ingredients together and set aside.
• For the Sandwich:
• Toast/Grill the sourdough bread. Brush base of bread liberally with the dressing.
• Top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, bacon and Tilapia.
• Drizzle the second piece of toast liberally with more dressing. Top and slice to serve.
