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!

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

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.

This recipe was a complete disaster. The tilapia was overcooked and the lemon-herb butter was too salty.

I've made this recipe a few times now and I've always had trouble getting the tilapia to cook evenly. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

The sandwiches were a bit dry, but overall they were still pretty good.

I'm not a big fan of tilapia, but I really enjoyed these sandwiches. The lemon-herb butter made all the difference.

I love the combination of flavors in this recipe. The lemon-herb butter really brings out the flavor of the tilapia. I also appreciate that the recipe is relatively low in calories.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a winner. The tilapia is always moist and flaky, and the lemon-herb butter is the perfect complement. I also love that the sandwiches are so easy to make.

These tilapia sandwiches were a hit with my family! The fish was cooked perfectly and the lemon-herb butter added a delicious flavor. The sandwiches were also easy to make, which is always a plus.
