BAKED TILAPIA SANDWICHES

Baked Tilapia Sandwiches image

While in Maui for my honeymoon I had a wonderful mahi mahi sandwich. When I got home, I used the resources I had (good mahi mahi isn't available in Oklahoma) to create a similar dish. I created this wonderful fish sandwich using tilapia, enjoy!

Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or as needed
½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
2 tablespoons capers
4 submarine sandwich rolls, split

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Brush tilapia lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil and then sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Season both sides with salt and pepper and place on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
While fish is cooking, heat remaining olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and capers; cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
Place fish on rolls and top with onion, tomato, and caper mixture.
