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

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 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

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. 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.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.

  4. 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.

  5. Place fish on rolls and top with onion, tomato, and caper mixture.

Cook's Note:

You can use wheat tortillas instead of bread, if you like.
