To a small bowl, add mayo, lemon zest, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) sugar, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) lemon juice and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic. (TIP: Add less garlic, depending on what you like best!) Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. (NOTE: This is your lemon aioli.)
To a large bowl, add 2 tsp (4 tsp) lemon juice, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. (NOTE: This is your vinaigrette.)

In another small bowl, combine 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) softened butter and 1/4 tsp garlic. (TIP: Add less garlic, depending on what you like best!)
On an unlined baking sheet, arrange ciabatta, cut-side up. Drizzle 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over top, then season with salt and pepper.
Add tilapia, remaining garlic, half the Montreal Spice Blend (use all for 4 ppl) and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a medium bowl, then toss to coat.

Add ciabatta, cut-side down, to one side of the grill. Grill ciabatta until golden and grill marks appear, 3-4 min. Flip, then grill until warmed through, 1-2 min.
Meanwhile, arrange a sheet of foil on the other side of the grill. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the foil! For 4 ppl, use 2 sheets.)
Add tilapia to the foil. Grill, flipping once, until tilapia is cooked through, 2-3 min per side.**
Return ciabatta and tilapia to the baking sheet.

To the bowl with vinaigrette, add arugula and spinach mix and tomatoes then toss to combine.
Spread garlic butter over cut sides of ciabatta. Cut each half diagonally.

Divide tilapia, ciabatta and salad between plates.
