Baked Tilapia Sandwiches

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!

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.
